What is my budgie doing? (worried)?

Question

I had left the room for about 15 minutes,and when I came back, my budgie was stretching it's neck forward and opening it's beak,kind of like it was choking. This event is happening about every 8 seconds, and it's been going on for maybe a minute. My budgie (Pipi) doesn't seem to have any symptoms of sickness,so whats going on?

It sounds like your bird is regurgitating (bird may swallow it or spit out a soft pellet) or bobbing. This is common in all birds.  Birds do this for mating and feedig [of young] purposes.....the bobbing is for affection and the regurgitation is a 'present' for you (you are its mate).
Get concerned and go to the vet if your bird gets fluffed, lethargic, sits for prolonged periods on the bottom of his/her cage, has difficulty breathing, looses conciousness or appears to be straining.  These can all be signs of a stuck egg or serious systemic disease.

was it bouncing up and down if so thats normal. when they  think it gets to quit or are just board they will start to do something that looks almost like they are dancing.
