Why is my cockatiel breathing heavy, sneezing, and not perching?

Question

My young cockatiel who is about two months old keeps breathing heavy with open beak along with having issues with closing its right hand. I have also noticed one eye seems to look bigger then the other. Always sneezes constantly and when it wants to sleep it like to lay on something not stand on a perch.

Thanks for reaching out about Aquafina. This sounds serious and a veterinary visit is needed s soon as possible. A respiratory infection (bacterial, fungal), aspiration of food into the trachea, enlarged organs (liver, etc.) or infectious diseases like chlamydophilosis, are all possible. Heat support is important aiming for a constant temperature of 85-90 F. This is a case for a veterinarian not to be dealt with at home. Good luck.
