Peahens cluck-like sound cough and stretch neck with gasp

[pedda munnangi]

Gasping for air is a definite ABNORMALITY. in my opinion and I do not hesitate a bit treating her with Baytril. Giving Baytril to a peafowl without any symptoms, does not hurt from my point of view simply because it will kill all blood sucking parasites, mites, tics etc and unwanted worms in her stomach besides treating bacterial infections.

They do not gasp with every breath but appears like they've swallowed something and it won't move down the throat. My husband thought its just something maybe the hens do as we are new to peafowl, but they do sneeze and shake head at times. Its a husky cough.

Can you post a video? If your cell phone can do video, we can find a way to post it.

I'm not sure it's respiratory. They are not gasping for air with every breath.

Any other symptoms? Discharge from eyes or nose? Wheezing?

Curiously, I have never seen this documented, do you know where it says this?

Okay, I'll see if I can take video of mine doing something similar. In the meantime, go on You Tube and see if you can find some hens doing the same thing.

There is no discharge from eyes or nose, geez, I'm not sure about the wheezing, I was out there studying them today and they would sneeze with droplets flying at times, and make that odd sneeze cluck sound which I consider a cough and shake their heads and then bend neck back and stretch it up (like a hard swallow) hold their mouth open like panting and then act normal for a few minutes and then do these symptoms again,
