I think my parakeet is egg bound?
I think my parakeet is egg bound, her tails seems to be bobbing and she has big droppings (poop). sometimes she goes and sits on the bottom of the cage with her feathers puffed and sometimes she comes up and acts normal. She seems to be showing a lot of affection to me but i am not sure that has to do with anything about being egg bound (just saying). I just want to know if she is egg bound. I had her a bout 7years i always thought it was a boy because of the light blue cere so i am not sure its a female either.
she doesn’t seem to be straining or breathing hard.
((Please don’t answer me with take it to an avian vet it doesn’t help i will be taking her or him very very very very soon anyways))
I think this is a male because i have another female and they seem to be mating so i am very confused unless it is possible for a parakeets to be homosexual??!!!
the other parakeet has a pink cere but a man who i think owns the pet shop told me it was female.
if you had the bird 7 yrs and no eggs ,i would assume it is male . or a non-laying female.i would not assume it was egg bound. it may be constipation. do you feed fruit or just seeds ,vary it’s diet with some vegetable matter green leafy vegetables,fruit,
(apples) is it stuck in the cage or can it fly around the room ,some exercise will help .
