similar to that little white spot but quite a few of them. would tapeworms cause them to cough and gasp?

No.. tapeworms won't cause the coughing. You might have a respiratory illness also.

Earthworms and fleas carry tapeworms.

Respiratory diseases are very contagious.
Have you brought any new birds home recently?

ok thanks for the info. no new birds. it's not really a cough more like they have something stuck in their throat. their crops are a lot smaller and softer than the rest at bed time. but acting completely normal otherwise

Did this start after you dewormed them?

Did this start after you dewormed them?

no, before. they have been doing this for a week or two. no rattling sounds. nose is dry. comb is bright red. eyes are not watery. kind of lost on what to do.
