∙ 12y agoThere is no answer to the question being asked. Budgies are birds. 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.

∙ 15y agoWell, lets see..... Birds lay eggs, those eggs do not become chicks inside the bird. A chicken lays the egg, then sits on the egg for 21 days and a chick is hatched. It is similar with all birds but brooding times can vary. The egg yolk is fertilized first and is then surrounded by albumen, inner and outer membranes and a shell on its way through the oviduct of the bird. This process takes about 24 hours. Birds do not get pregnant.

How long does a robin bird stay pregnant?
The correct term for a pregnant bird is known as "gravid" and they usually will lay eggs within a 2 to 3 day period after carrying them. These eggs will then go on to hatch within a 12 to 14 day period after the Mother's incubation starts and they will eventually leave the nest within 14 to 16 days after hatching.
