Brand New Budgie

Hi all.
My little Budgie, Reggie, started making a squeaking sound when he was pooping today. Kind of like the noise you make if you pucker your lips and inhale. His poops are a little runnier than usual too.
I can't tell if he is in pain or not, or if he has decided to just announce it to the room. It's not an incredibly loud squeak, but he has never done it before.
I've tried looking up information from various sources, but all I find is problems regarding consistency and colour of his movements, none of which really match up with what's happening.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

It could be so many different things, you'd need to consult an avian vet to be sure.
Do you have a photo of your budgie and his droppings? Is he more fluffed up and sleepy than normal as that is a sure sign that he's under the weather and needs help.

Agree with Marianne, a vet needs to diagnose. If it's a respiratory problem, they often cause squeaking, your budgie would needs antibiotics.

There is a possibility of your budgie farting. due to the runny poops. I know this because I heard Kiwi doing it when he had veery runny poops. It sounded like the noise you can make by blowing air over your tongue and making a slight whistle.

My budgie has started doing this as well! He has very wet droppings and we have been to the vet a few times to try different treatments. Due to covid we are still waiting on the latest response from them as he is still firing out water as well as funky poop. Consulting a vet may be a good option for you guys too

That all sounds very wrong to me. It sounds as though your budgie is in distress when pooping. Vet asap, or at least a video call.
