Why is my budgie throwing up seeds, bobbing head, and can't swallow?

Question

My budgie is violently bobbing her head and throwing up liquid & seeds. I tried feeding her millet but as soon as she tried to swallow? She threw up. I cannot take her to the vet currently. What do i do? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 0 lbs

Based on the behavior you are describing I am concerned that Alif may have something stuck in her throat/mouth that is causing her discomfort and making her not want to eat. She may also be regurgitating in an attempt to dislodge whatever is stuck. However, this behavior could also be a seizure type behavior. It is hard to say without actually seeing what Alif is doing. You need to get her in to a vet as soon as possible. Until then, continue to offer her plenty of fresh water and her favorite foods to encourage eating. You may also try to gently massage her throat area and see if that helps. Best of luck.
