I've seen some slight concerns on my budgie Teddy. Any clarification and or advice would be greatly appreciated
1) He has a curved posture? I've noticed his body is 100% aligned straightly unless he's standing looking forwards (it's still present because his tail is still a bit swayed but minimized) Am I just overthinking this?
2) His tail is droopy, it's been like this since I got him but his tail is pointed downwards instead of straight like my other budgie and I know a droopy tail can be a sign of sickness.
3) I believe he's underweight, he is VERY tiny compared to my other budgie but I can't weigh him because I don't have an accessible scale at home. Could this correlate with the droopy tail?
***To give more context these are just physical concerns I've seen but his behavior has not changed if anything he's more active than before and is more open to enjoying a wide variety of veggies. I can confirm his droppings are the same as well but I know they tend to hide illnesses very well He also has a vet appointment this Tuesday I just want the ease of mind at the moment. I might give an update depending on how this thread does. Thank you ***
