Urgent Tail bobbing?

[cheekypie]

I think my lovebirds may be tail bobbing٫ it's hard to tell because the move around a lot٫ especially when out of the cage. I can't tell but it's hard to get to a vet since its a 30 minute drive٫ and the earliest they can do is a week later٫ I also don't wanna stress them out too much. I will also add a photo of their poop because it makes me worry a bit. It may just be my paranoid self٫ but thats why im asking. Thanks in adavance.

Do you have a video of the bobbing? Their tails will bob a little when breathing sometimes.

Poop seems normal, what did you find worrying about it? Here is a link for poop info; (handy to keep for reference),

Is your bird suffering from poopology - All about bird droppings

A very long and detailed post on parrot poopology or bird droppings. Why is it important to examine your bird's droppings and what signs to look out for.

For the poop٫ The photo of me holding the paper towel٫ that poop looked slighty like a lime green. Ill probably has trouble shooting a video and getting a good view. I mostly notice it after a small flight. Where ever they land they will sit there for a couple seconds to catch their breath٫ then i notice the tail goinh up and down.

After a flight it is normal for them to seem winded.

Poop can change based on diet. One off weird poops, unless there is blood, is usually not a cause for concern.

My vet is 90 mins away

See if you can post a video of the tail bobbing. If you are concerned that something is "off" the best thing to do is take your budgie to the vet. Hope all will be well.

Looks fine from what I can see on the video.

As they breathe their tail will bob a slight bit, when relaxing you don´t see it at all.
So when they are out flying, or have been running around or flying in the cage, sometimes playing hard with toys, they are breathing more, like after we go for a jog, and the bobbing is noticable, though it´s still quite slight.

Here is one of my girls bobbing, she laid an egg later that day and this is normal for her; drooped wings, tail bobbing, large egg shape under tail. If you have a boy bobbing this much and fluffy like her, or if they are just relaxing and bobbing this much or more, then I would be concerned. I don´t like to judge bobbing out of the cage, If I think something is not right, I house the birds and check in after they´ve settled and relaxed a bit in there.

Thanks for the help. My male is completly fine٫ it's the female im worried about. She also sleeps slighty more horizontal than my male.

I tried to film a better one while in the cage.
