I would recommend taking Neilly to a vet for a food physical exam. Birds always concern me when they are acting abnormal. The abnormal noise could be secondary to molting or a behavioral changes but it could also be a sign of an upper respiratory infection. I think it is best to have Neilly examined. I hope that helps
