Budgies are birds, and birds do not get pregnant, as reproduction is done through the laying of eggs. The eggs take about three weeks to form properly in the body, but this is not called "pregnancy". They look the same when they are laying eggs as when they aren't. In other words, birds don't "hold" their eggs inside their bodies and show a big belly to indicate that eggs are on the way. The egg shell is the last thing that develops right before the egg is laid, therefore, a hen doesn't "show" in the sense that human women "show" when they are pregnant.
Budgies which are getting close to laying an egg become more lively, excitable and playful, not listless and quiet. If they have a nesting box, they will spend a lot more time in the box, preparing it for nesting, and possibly being very protective of that area. If there is a male, he may start feeding the female.
A budgie with a swollen abdomen is not a sign of of a bird about to lay an egg. It is either eating too much of a high-fat diet (common among birds with a seed-only diet) or it has a tumor. Swelling in the abdominal area could also mean the parrot is egg-bound, though this tends to present more as swelling near the bird's tail, near the cloacae. She will be distressed and show signs of constipation, be reluctant to move and "waddle" like a penguin. If your bird shows signs of being egg-bound, she must be taken to the vet as soon as possible, as this can be a life-threatening condition.
mine havent layed any eggs yet but i researched breeding and taking care of budgies and they say that two days before the due date the female will go into the nest box, like i said im not sure but i think that's how it is.
Budgies do not give birth. Like all birds, they lay eggs.
No. It means you are feeding your budgie too much.
if you have a budgie for quite awhile and then get another budgie your original budgie will get territorial and attack the newer bird. If this is the case you need to get to cages and slowly show the new budgie to the older budgie. keep doing it again and again until eventually you should be able to keep the two birds in one cage.
well when you would buy your pet budgie you would ask the pet shop keeper he/she should tell u all the details of ur budgie and should give u like a little receipt with all the info on your pet! x
Because they are not pregnant yet, but they will soon. I used a clenax box as a nest for them and I wrote "Nest" and my green and white budgie mating happend.
The girl budgie would attack the new boy budgie and not the old girl budgie because she is used to the other girl budgie and is not familiar to the new boy budgie.
The Trill brand budgie food is recommended on many comparison websites and by many vets. They advise that you treat your bird to some fruit now and again and mix a vitamin supplement in the water. However it is hard to tell if they are the best budgie food but all the information points towards it being a very good choice of budgie food.
