I got two budgies - Jerry and Charlotte. Jerry is 7, Charlotte is 1. Yes there is a huge age difference! I just want to know if Charlotte is actually pregnant and for any tips for them. They get along good enough. I'm not sure if they mated yet, but I can see a little bulge in Charlotte's belly. I got a nest box for her, but she's terrified of it. Thanks in advance!

Budgies shouldn't breed after 4-5 years of age or before 1 year old. I would suggest removing the nest box from the cage and doing some research before breeding the birds. If she does lay an egg, you can remove it from the cage so that she can't incubate it Link to comment

But I'm just wondering, why would Charlotte be so fat? Link to comment

It sounds like a human with a hiccups, I haven't a clue what it is. Jerry is just fine Link to comment

You seem to know your budgies very well! Link to comment

If she doesn't seem to be in any stress or pain I wouldn't worry about it too much Link to comment

Maybe she got a bit of seed stuck? She normally does it after eating Link to comment

I hardly imagine it's good for her. Is there any way I could make her stop eating it all together? She's also still very fat, what type of fruit and veg would budgies eat? Thanks in advance for any replies. Link to comment

It might give her something more healthy for her to chew on. Link to comment
