Worried About My Female

Featured Replies

Posted

My female laid her second egg today. I went to check on her tonight and she looks fluffed up and is breathing a little fast. I'm worried cuz I know all these are bad signs. Should I take her in or just wait it out?

she is just sitting on her perch.

I checked on her twice today, once right after she laid the egg and she was in the nesting box and when I went into the room tonight she was on the perch of her nesting box and jumped up to the big perch. i dont know if im just worried about her or if there is actually something wrong, I watched her from afar (I dont want to stress her) for a few minutes and she will randomly puff up and then go back to normal but her breathing seems fast to me?

 

Where is she ?

You may have found her just after laying her egg.

When I said where was she...I meant inside in breeding cage or outside in an aviary ?

How old is she ?

She is inside in a breeding cage sorry...My friend had her for about a 18 months and gave her to me when she had to move and I have had her for about 2 months now so she should be right around 2 years old. Also I have another very young (I'd say 6 months old) female (I think but am not sure, I posted her picture before in the sexing section and the majority thought girl) in with a 2 year old male, no nesting box or anything but the boy will not leave her alone, I have no plans on breeding them even when she is old enough but he wont leave her alone, should I seperate them or is it okay for him to keep "bugging" her.

Seperate the young female from the male as she can get stressed and sick by him bothering her.

 

So do you have four budgies not three ?
