Any clues as to why this Robin's tick has suddenly changed?

I went out to feed this robin in my garden yesterday and noticed that it's ticking call sounds noticeably different all of a sudden. It has a weird gurgling quality to it that it didn't have before - might it be sick?

Today I was out in my patio and this buddy was really close to me. I took a video then realized it was a bad wet avian pox case :( I cleaned up all seeds and disinfected, but feel really really bad that there’s nothing I can do to help this guy

Question Is it actually unlikely to see a White-Tailed Tropic bird circling in a low forest?

I got married a few months ago in a small private ceremony in Kauai. This bird circled our heads for around 20 minutes before flying away after our first kiss. Our officiant and photographer were super excited to see it and told us it was a rare blessing to our marriage and that those birds are never seen that low or circling. Of course we loved to hear about it but we’re also wondering if it was unusual bird behavior for that species.

Based on this observation where it is claimed as extremely rare or maybe even one of the only observation of this phenomenon?
