My cockatiel name ayam is just 2 weeks old, i got this from a breeder.it has been 3 days with me hand feeding , at first was force feeding but the next day ayam let’s me feed him/her. For some reason and I am not sure how, ayam breaths heavily. Ayam’s throat sort of makes a bubble or expand when ayam breaths in. Poop looks normal, did not notice sneezing nor cough but i can hear wheezing sound. I wish i can send a video to have a better view. Eating has no problem, ayam would still beg for food. Gave water as well. I added bragg acv a well on formula and dextrose on water. Please help, i dont know what to do

You should never force a chick. It can easily aspirate.
