Why is my budgie breathing heavily and bobbing his tail on the perch?

Question

My budgie remains active all day long. But now I saw him sitting on the perch and he was breathing heavily I think. His body was moving back and forth while sitting on the perch. Is he alright? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 1 year and 1 month old

Monitor Coco for other symptoms including, but not limited to lethargy, decreased appetite, loose droppings, wheezing, any discharge from the eyes/nose/beak, pronounced tail bobbing while breathing or perching low with feathers fluffed out. If he is active and eating normally, he may simple be resting or recovering from activity. If you see additional symptoms, have him examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating birds.
