Hello, I have budgie which has fast breathing, not difficult, and he is puffed up most of the day, I don’t know if it is because I open the window for 4 hours or is it because he’s sick. I open the window just for him to get plenty of fresh air. And once I see him puffed up then I cover his cage with a blanket, I check on him every 30 minutes of so, and I can tell you that he’s puffed about 2-3 hours each day, and he’s just a little puffed up not that much. And I went to the vet because of his fast breathing almost 5 times to check and get new medicine, and this is his third type of medicine. And I don’t know what should I do and if he is going to be okay, and by the way he tailbobs but like only a millimeter to a 1/2 a centimeter thank you for reading this. 89F042C2-8C61-442E-A66A-C350AFDAA97D.jpeg

Good idea to contact the vet regarding your continuing concern and the issue.
Don't keep checking up on him so much. Let him rest.

What is the room temperature and what is the temperature outside when you open the window? How far away is your bird from the open window?

I contacted the vet and they told me that if the room if chilly to you, then it is chillier to the budgie!

I read online since baby budgies or featherless budiges have a yellowish bump below their neck and im wondering if its normal? And if it is what is it? I heard its where their food it stored? my budgie is 4 years old and im not sure if hes supposed to have it or not

It sounds like your birds crop.
