Hi a couple of weeks ago my 18 year old African grey was breathing loudly and her voice sounded as though something was stuck . This went on for about 4 days although in herself she was ok , eating , drinking and talking as usual . Took her to avian vet who agreed her breathing was loud and said he could hear slight noise in chest so said it was a bacterial infection and gave her antibiotics . The breathing returned to normal and all seemed ok until today . Now she is making a noise I can only describe like a hooter being squeezed slightly . She is doing it a lot but once again in herself normal eating , talking and playing . I have heard this noise before on occasions but maybe only once / twice a day sometimes but seems only when she was nibbling her feathers , whereas today it’s even happening when she is sitting still not doing anything and I’ve heard it whilst she eating . Any ideas / advice please
