Why is my parakeet quiet, breathing fast, and feathers fluffed up?

Question

My parakeet all of a sudden is very quiet and seems to be breathing a bit faster and feathers fluffed up. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 3 months old | 0.2 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Winter. Lethargy, fluffed and heavier breathing could b an indication of a respiratory disease, enlarged abdominal organ or other problem. A veterinary visit is recommended, the sooner the better. Providing heat support can give some comfort but is not a cure. Monitor for appetite and water intake. Good luck.
