Duck Hiccups!

[Ellyhutch]

My almost 10 month old Ancona duck seems to have the hiccups...or something this morning (link below). It just started within the last hour. There's no noise associated, just the odd full body motion. He seems normal otherwise, quacking and curious, and he gets down water fine. He doesn't seem to be in pain. Any thoughts?

He is very handsome! I have a thought, but I'm going to suggest @Isaac 0 have a look.

Thank you, I agree, he is my handsome boy!

He is now eating as well as drinking seemingly just fine.

Frequently, when birds have something lodged in their esophagus they make weird neck movements in attempts to dislodge the material; that appears to be what's going on from my view. If this just started, let him be for a while and it should resolve on its own.

How long has this been going on?

He doesn't appear to be doing it anymore. It went on no more than an hour. Now he's eating and drinking like normal. Thank you for easing my mind!
