Is my budgie yawning too much? Is it normal or a sign of choking?

Question

Parrot Yawning non stop I've got a new budgie (male). In the first couple days I noticed him yawning non stop, like 20 times. As he did so, he stretched his neck out and half closed his eyes. Then sometimes he would even bring one foot up. Was he choking? When he stopped it he continued sitting peacful as if nothing happened (hes new to home) nothing came out his mouth and his droppings are normal. I didn't catch him doing it for about 2 months until today. Is this normal? Explain? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 21 days old

Yawning is common in birds. It can be due to being stressed or being tired. Some experts believe yawning is also done to move food around in the crop. Continue to monitor Prosha for any abnormal behavior. This can include lethargy, decreased appetite, sitting fluffed, loose droppings, or discharge from the nostrils or beak. See an experienced avian veterinarian for an exam if necessary.
