Strange Sounds

[raddaughter]

Sorry its so long, but there's a story behind it.

Several months back, she began making this odd noise.It sounds like someone after they've come back from running with the slightest sound- like an unn unn unn. Anyways, she would only do it around me and every time I would try to show my parents, she wouldn't do it.

I talked to my vet about it and asked about constipation (hence the tail bobbing) and he said that its rare for them to get constipated and that its probably just a baby noise. I contacted her previous owner who had an infant at the time and she said that Echo used to mimic the sounds from the baby monitor. But I babysit and the sounds she's making don't sound like that (though they may be similar).

Recently its gotten worse. The sounds are much stronger and her wings seem to droop, she gets fluffed up and her tail bobs up and down. However, she really onyl does it when she gets excited over me or when shes begging for attention. I wanted to ask you if you had any advice as to what to do. Her poops are normal and she gets a balanced diet along with lots of excersize and out time. I'm just so puzzled as to what's going on...

Dominique, can you film it and send it to me?
I want to see if its mating moves or respiratory.
Drooping of the wings indicates mating, where as the tail bobbing is respiratory(I know we've talked about this)

Lisa,I'll try to send you a video this afternoon. Its just concerning me that no vet I talk to has a clue...
