Hi,
My name is Vanessa and I have one female Budgie - her name is Presley - YES, I love Elvis but Presley is also the name of a blue coloured stone and she has beautiful blue markings.
Alway, I'm really writing to ask some advice.
I found Presley on a 40+ degrees day and she looked like she was going to die.
I put a bath in her cage without knowing what I was actually doing but the next day she was all puffed up and very much alive - thank goodness!
So, I've had her for almost two years and I do not intend to get her a mate. She seems to be very attached to me actually and started a while back doing this funny pose whenever she saw me. Weird?
About three days later an egg appeared in her cage. When this happened again and again I started to work out that she was presenting to me and it meant another egg would soon follow.
When, over a period of time 3 eggs appeared I thought, wow! my birdie is really in love with me. : ) : )
Now, however, the eggs are still coming - I think we are up to 13 - I have actually lost count.
Is this normal?
Is she some kind of special breeding budgie?
I am a novice and know only what I have learned through observation, reading and having visited the vet twice - at the time of the visits she had not laid any eggs at all so I am very much in the dark.
Advice?
Cheers.
