    It could be a competition thing or... Are you sure he is actually a he? Possibly another alternative? Anyway, I have 4 dogs, and I KNOW when one is acting unusual, no matter what anyone tells me. So I suggest you go with your instincts. Give it a day or two, and see what happens. When I'm not actually sure if something is wrong, I tend to give my animals a day or two, see if it gets better or worse, and then decide from there. But life has taught me one thing, and that is to go with my instincts. They are there for a reason...

    It might be a good idea to take him to the vet, you have to remember that when they are in the wild, they cannot let other animals know or see that they are sick. If they do then they will become dinner for them. So by the time that we SEE that they are sick, sometimes it is almost too late to help them. But not always, I have had many birds survive, so do not give up hope. Take him to the vet.
    I hope this helps.

    G'day buttercuplover,

    Thank you for your question.

    In captivity, budgies tend to live between 5 to 8 years with well-cared for birds living as long as 15. Your budgie is getting old in budgie terms.

    I'd keep an eye on him and take him to the vet if it continues.

    Regards
