Hi KAZ When I found her it was about 6;00am this morning on my way to work just going in to give them fresh water and food and found her on the floor. I was upset and I didn't know to feel her, though when I found her she was still soft so I don't think she'd been dead for long. I have kept her to show my husband when he arrives home from work so she is quite stiff now and difficult to feel for anything, she looks a little mucky around the vent but not overly, she was quite fat and about 18months old I had put them in with the nesting boxes about 3-4 months ago she hadn't had any other clutches to date. Though they had cuttlebone I had not given any calcium supplement. I have 1 pair left n the nesting boxes when should I start to give calcium.

How can I tell if they are eggbound should this happen again. She looked fine before I went to bed that night

I have two breeding pair of budgies in a small avery, one of the males escaped leaving two femaes and one male. One of the females has been nesting on and of for a few weeks now but produced no eggs, she seemed fine and healthy it was her first time nesting as none of them have breed as yet. But, this morning i found her dead on the floor of the avery and am at a loss as to why this happened. Can anyone enlighten me as to what may have happened. I had noticed her panting on and off but she seemed fine the day before this happened.
