Flapping wing

[dollra.miyako]

Hi Everyone, Jacob just came over to my place 3days ago and he started to flap his wing. i have check with the shop owner why is he flapping like this and shop owner say it maybe because of the air is dusty. so we bought air purifier look slightly better but he still flap his wing. see video attach: [ame="https://youtu.be/fK9DiJRR4UQ"]9502BB78 F505 4AAF 9D38 170072B2C602 - YouTube[/ame]
Please advice thank you

personally I would take them to a vet to check that out as it looks more like a muscle spasm. Definitely not flapping

I would check the laws surrounding the selling trade of pets and birds because where you bought her from may be responsible to pay for any treatment if she were to need any

I agree with M'Lord...Jacob should be taken to a CERTIFIED AVIAN VET...a vet that specializes in bird's..not just a "regular" vet,that will look at any animal.
Jacob should have a "wellness" check-up.

how old is Jacob? He/She is VERY pretty!

What is shown in the short Video looks like a simple twitch. This could be anything from just a readjustment of the Wing feathers to a medical issue regarding the nervous system. The determination of just how serious would be how often this is occurring.

If continuous or semi-continuous, you will want to take your MAC to a Vet. If more of a rare event, a few times per day. More likely a 'misting' with a fine water mister, or a bath.

Is your location fairly dry or dusty? Since you do not provide a general location in this huge World, I would have no way to know.

Updates:
I bought Jacob to vet yesterday. The vet say he is healthy and active all is ok, about the flapping of wing the vet say its normal and it maybe coz by his molting and as his feather is not fully growth.

Thanks everyone for the advice ^_^
