My parakeet is on cage bottom, breathing hard. Should I see a vet?

Question

My mother found my parakeet on the bottom of his cage this morning breathing hard. Hadn't cleaned himself.. He barely ate or drank as she gently cleaned him which he definitely needed... He's maybe around 12 years old.. I've been reading up and all of the signs point to bad.. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered

Hello. I am sorry that Bobo isn't feeling well. It does sound like Bobo is very very sick. I would recommend having him to a vet right away. Birds do not show they are sick unless they are severely compromised, and a parakeet sitting on the bottom of a cage breathing hard could be near death. It also sounds like Bobo might be suffering. If you can get him to a vet right away I would suggest this. Best of luck with Bobo.
