No. If your female parakeet has a hard stomach, there is something drastically wrong.

Parrots are birds. They 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.

A parakeet 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.

My pug looks fat but you can see her ribs and her stomach is hard do think she is having a baby?

If your pug's stomach is hard and you can see her ribs, it may not necessarily indicate that she is pregnant. Pugs can have varying body types, and a hard stomach can sometimes indicate other health issues, such as bloating or gastrointestinal problems. It's best to consult your veterinarian for a proper evaluation and to determine if she is pregnant or if there are any underlying health concerns.
