Hello all, my 5 year old cockatiel has been acting strange tonight. I noticed he had his beak open and is panting like how he usually will if he is out of his cage flying around the house for a period of time. He seems to twitch on his right leg often as if it is bothering him. Other than this he is still whistling and chatty as ever, he is eating and playing, does anyone have an idea of why he seems to be panting, with his beak opening and flicking his tongue rapidly?

Hello all, thank you for such quick replies...the tempature of the room hasnt had any drastic change...everything about him is normal, he is still leaving normal looking droppings, eating, drinking, whistling, and playing with his toys...it's just he has his beak open with his tongue flicking rapidly, he also seems to jolt/shake every so often as if he is trying hard to keep himself balanced

Well I woke up this morning and my bird is no longer panting and is still lively as ever, but it does seem he is favoring his right leg, if he did hurt it could he have been panting cuz the pain was stressful to him? also taking him to the vet to be sure
