Budgie breathing fast but acting normal

[Darkninja]

I have a 3 and a half old budgie now, and I noticed she's breathing faster than normal. But she acts normal and shows no signs of being ill. Is this normal?

How long has she been doing it? Is it hot where you are?

I noticed she's been doing it about 3-4 weeks ago. It's not hot where I am at all.

I think I would take her for a vet check.

I have to agree. If we rule out heat, exercise and anxiety any signs of respiratory distress should be referred to a vet. How long since she last saw a vet?

It will ease your mind if she gets a check up
Could be nothing, but best to be sure..

It might just be her breathing. She acts normal, chirps and squawks, eats well and doesn't make any noises while breathing. It happens all day and it doesn't seem to be doing nothing to my bird

She's never seen the vet since we don't really have the money for it.

So what were your plans to care for this bird in an emergency situation? You can apply for and use a credit card called Care Credit or your parents can. You will get to pay back the amount interest free if the vet subscribes tp care credit.
