Urgent Clicking while breathing

[Ilse]

A few minutes ago Rockie was on my desk pacing back and forth. She was breathing pretty heavily and making little clicking noises and chirps while she did so. I picked her up and it stopped completely, she was breathing normally, no clicking, and now she's on top of her cage puffed up on one leg, grinding her beak.


Should I be concerned? I saw lots of people online say this can be deadly but if something was wrong she wouldn't be back to normal so soon would she? (I know birds hide illness until it's too late, but she always sits on one leg, grinds her beak and puffs up)


(she is eating and drinking just fine)

When in doubt I always take my birds to the vet. I’d rather pay for a vet check and my baby’s be perfectly healthy than not and they be sick. If it continues to concern you I would definitely have your little bird checked. Eating and drinking is always a good Singh. You are right though birds are very good about hiding illnesses

Where these clicking noises really fast?

I'd keep an eye on her... Buuuut my lovebirds do make a loud clicky noise and pace when they get in the mood for Barry White and Jello shots, if you know what I mean. I've heard/seen both my males and females engaging in that behavior.

If it sounded anything like this, then there's no need to worry.
