Budgie making weird noises

[Olliebirb]

I just noticed right now that my budgie Oliver is making weird noises. It kind of sounds like a stomach growling. It's quiet and I can't really get a video but I'll try. He just started doing it while he was preening and crunching his beak. It's making me very worried

It's not like that either... I'm so confused could he have just been hungry?

if you read the other thread I linked, people are saying it happens occasionally, when they are hungry especially.

Oh I didn't even see that thank you!

So does anyone think I should take him to the vet? If I hear it again tomorrow I will, but is it necessary? I often freak out about these things way too easily...

Can you video him doing?
My Flynn makes a funny little growling noise sometimes when he is relaxing and grinding his beak- his is kind of like purring though! I'm quite sure it is a happy noise

No I've tried but he either keeps tweeting or attacks the phone if I get it too close. It is also really quiet so the video didn't pick it up when I managed to record him he shortly after attacked the phone when I clicked record

Edit: it doesn't sound like a purr noise it sounds like when you are hungry and i just recall that I had him out for two hours so he very well could have been hungry like the other thread said

Hmm yeah sounds familiar. My lovebird will make that kinda noise when he's out for a long time.
