Hi Everyone.
Not sure if I a jumping at shadows or not.
I thought I caught Gurgeh heaving for breath and tail-bobbing but now I am not sure. He seems to be swaying forward very slightly, tilting his body back and forth which superficially resembles heavy breathing and tail-bob but it doesn't look quite right. His tail is moving because his body is moving rather than in response to laboured breathing (to my eye).
Healthwise, Gurgeh is very busy and shows few signs of being unwell but I have heard him sneezing or coughing a little the past couple of days. (I can never tell if it's a sneeze or a cough with budgies). He has only had this occur twice both days, each time a string of three or five sneezes/coughs. I catch him at rest a few times each day, closing his eyes, in addition to the usual Flock siesta times.
Gurgeh's appetite seems fine and his weight is possibly the most stable and steady of all my budgies. I couldn't say how his droppings are, I will have to work out how to find out but I can say, I see no signs of worrying droppings anywhere - I never see any laying around that make me wonder, Who did that?
Here is a short clip:

Any thoughts are welcome. It could be that he is so busy he is making himself over-tired.
Right now he is standing on a perch in the Daytime cage, burbling away and slow-blinking. It could be that he is perfectly fine and I am just still a bit raw from losing dear Berek last Friday.
