Peregrine falcon seems like hardly breathing...

[Dude]

Hi guys n girls, A friend of mine just bought a this yrs female peregrine, she is about 5 weeks old now and at even cool temperatures sitting totally comfortable and tame on the glove, but with opened beak. The beak is opened all the way.... My friend bought her from a very dirty breeding chambler. I guessed that its asper, but I dont really know whats's goin' on with his bird.

Any thoughts?

not my bird, and her owner wanna wait whats happen.... The said thing is that the most of the vets donno what to do with birds. They just know horses, cats, dogs, and cows....Well she eats well and no stinking of her breath. But I think it will be a sad end.........

stress and heat may be a factor.

yes, just talked with the guy and looks like the falcon dont do that weird thing anymore. Yes it can be that the stress what caused this extreme behaviour.
