b.massey Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I find nerves is reason...... Mibi new surroundings is making bird pant!! Maybe someone else will say otherwise but my birds often pant when i a show pen then settle down. Also shake too but it settles after 5-10 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
