Budgie squeaking and bobbing tail

[zcbx]

Hey guys
my female budgie rani has been with me for about a year now. I’ve recently noticed that she makes this quiet squeaking noise all day long. I’ve looked all over the internet and everywhere is saying that it’s a respiratory condition. Does anyone have any links to specific medicine or treatment or tips that could help me treat this in the mean time as i’m unable to access a vet for the time being due to COVID. I’m not sure if i should be worried. but i’m not entirely sure on what to do. (

Could be many things - iodine deficiency, respiratory infection or even air sac mites.

If an avian vet wont see you then perhaps you can send them a video of her making the noise.
