Weak Budgie

Hello,
After my female budgie did lay eggs, she is a bit heavier, her tail and wings got shorter and she is not able to fly properly. is that normal?
For the moment l’m giving her daily calcium and probiotics, she loves millets but she doesn’t eat fruits or vegetables.
I want her to get better and be able too fly again.
please advise.

Kind regards,

Nassera

Hi Nassera,

I would recommend that you take her to an avian vet. It sounds like she has had some type of complication with the egg laying. This is not normal, and she isn’t going to get better without proper treatment. The Vet can determine the issue and treat her for whatever is wrong.

Take care,

Brenda
