My parakeet is shaking and opening its beak. Is it sick or stressed?

Question

My parakeet is shaking up and down all the time even though it is warm weather. And also he is constantly opening his beak. Is there something possibly wrong with his lungs? Is he sick? Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | unneutered

Jessica Desrosiers · Accepted Answer

Shivering and beak opening can sometimes indicate stress in birds. Moving Mario to a quieter location, or in an area away from other pets and people and seeing if he feels better may help determine if this is the case. If he seems in severe distress, however, or his symptoms don't improve or worsen, a vet visit is best to rule out any health issues such as a respiratory problem causing his stress.
