My budgie vomited whole seeds. Is it regurgitation or illness?

Question

My bird, tweety who is about 7 months old have just vomited. When I looked at the vomit I saw whole pieces of the seeds that he had always eaten as if he just swallow up them without even chewing them. Tweety lives with an other budgie, Rico who is one year old. Also, we had a great weather the last few weeks in our cold country so we took the bird cage almost every day out to let them have som fresh air. I don't know what to do! please help!

Vomiting is very concerning, and if it happens again I would recommend bringing Tweety into your local vet for an exam, especially if he is showing any other signs of illness such as listless behavior, not wanting to eat or drink, etc. Moving him to a hospital cage if he continues to act ill can also help prevent his cagemate from picking on him and making things worse. Sometimes, a sexually mature or interested bird may regurgitate, rather than vomit, if they are trying to show interest in another bird. It is possible this is what you have seen, however if he vomits again, or shows signs of illness it is best to seek care to rule out any more serious issues.
