My 4 1/2 year old female cockatiel occasionally draws her head & neck upwards and makes a yawning motion. Could this indicate any lingering respiratory trouble from a bout with a bacterial infection last January? She was treated successfully and is eating a great pelleted diet, getting exercise, and seems 100%. Is this behavior anything to worry about?

I have a question about my lutino, Henrietta. She is about 10 months old. She tends to open her mouth widely now and then as if she is yawning except she does it a couple times in a row. She doesn't seem to do this often but will do it in spurts (four or five times one day and  then not again for a couple days). Is this something you heard of before?

Thank you for your input,

Holly
