sincerely , eager to learn

Answer
It would be easier to give solid advice if I knew how big it was, and what your cares are.

In general, however, a lot of Red-foots (including two of mine), make popping noises at certain times. One of mine does it more often when eating fruit and other people report that theirs does it under other conditions.

If the cares are solid and it can obviously eat properly, I would not worry about it.
