do you have any ideas of how she can become to a normal weight?

should i get her to play out of the cage?

or should i minimise her food?

Hi,

 

What do you currently feed her?

 

If she has always been this size she wouldn't be egg bound.

Does she like veggies at all? It would be interesting to know what kind of vegetables she likes so far. Some people give sprouts. I have been worried about the stagnant water so have not tried this but often see people suggest sprouts for overweight birds. I know my birds would like sprouts because they keep dropping seeds in the bath. Unfortunately for them I change it too often for anything to grow.

 

I know when sprouts are grown for human consumption they often have to clean the seeds with some kind of bleach solution, this is why I haven't tried the sprouts. Any bacteria on the seed will proliferate in water. I know many people give sprouted seed successfully though.
