EMERGENCY! Pls help my Cockatiel is Panting. It starts panting after a very short flight (like 10 meters).The temperature here is 29 degrees C , 79% Humidity and elevation is 6.7m. One more detail : We clipped its wings today(its feathers didn't bleed or anything).Why is it panting and how to make it stop panting.

Panting can sometimes be a sign of heat exhaustion or extreme distress in birds. If moving your bird to a calm, quiet and cool cage does not resolve the panting, or your bird is having trouble breathing it is best to seek emergency medical care from a local veterinarian ASAP. Keeping him in a cool, dark, quiet room may help him recover, but if his symptoms don't improve care is needed.
