Sent to Pet Experts April 24 09:45 PM

My female parrotlet is making strange sounds. She sounds like a squeaky toy. She doesn't do it all the time, just gets louder and quicker when she is nervous or scared. Has she got a respiratory problem. It just started a couple days ago. I am wondering if being in the room with all my cockatiels and their "dander" might be affecting her.

 

Optional Information:
Age: 2; Female; Breed: Parrotlet

Already Tried:
Separated to another cage.

Is she also doing any out of the ordinary physical behaviors, such as drooping her wings and holding them out a bit from her sides, crouching low on her perches or any other things you have noticed? This and any additional information you may think of will help me to give you my most accurate answer. Thanks, Patricia
