Ok I don’t know if I am being a paranoid mama or not. But my 25 day old cockatiel after eating and making a complete piggy of himself. Did something I have never seen him do before. I use a syringe that has a rubbery small tube on the end to feed him. Usually around 106* temp and he is 39.05 g so he is eating between 8-9 ml each feeding. Well he gulped today and reared back. So I gave him a second. Figured he got over anxious. He is a jumper when eating.hold on tight. But then I was worried about this so when I put him back in his brooder he went to sleep but I noticed he was breathing strong. Full tummy. I have never watched him just sleep but out of worry for him I did this time. He never coughed sneezed or fell over when he was eating. Is this behavior normal and I just be a paranoid mom? He was ravenous his second feeding and did well. And I noticed a new activity. He plays with his tongue in his mouth just like he just noticed he has one….
