parakeet tail movement


My Little Tucker Parakeet has suddenly been moving his tail in an up and down movement. Should I be concerned?


Answer:

Hi Sally,

This can be a sign of illness. If he is also breathing heavy, fluffed up and/or appears to be straining, I would go ahead and take him to an avian vet as soon as possible.

Take care,

Brenda
