Sorry if this sounds silly, autocorrect changed my words. I meant how to know the best time to conceive. We just started trying and i dont understand the fertile days properly. Can someone explain in simple way?
Haha, this is a human pregnancy group, but as a pet lover who still does her doctor-approved morning walks, I think budgies don't get 'pregnant' like us—they lay eggs! You might notice her staying inside her nesting box more and being less active, but check with a vet to be sure.
If you are planning to breed your budgies, just keep in mind that setting up a proper breeding cage, nesting box, and getting quality seeds or vet checks can add up. Usually, a female budgie ready to lay eggs will look a bit heavy in her lower belly and spend all her time in the nest box.
Oh god, I read this and thought, is 'budgie' some new pregnancy slang I missed while sleeping 12 hours a day? If you mean the cute little pet bird, she will probably start staying in her nest box and her droppings will get huge before she lays eggs!
Actually, budgies don't carry babies; they form eggs! From what I've researched, a gravid budgie will have a swollen abdomen, drooping wings, and she will start rearranging her nest box materials. If she looks weak or strains without laying, take her to an avian vet immediately as it can be dangerous.
Oh, this is such a cute question on a human mom app! In birds like budgies, you can tell they are ready to lay eggs when they get moody, clean their nest box a lot, and eat more calcium. Hope your little bird is doing well and healthy!
I used to have budgies before my baby was born! A pregnant or gravid budgie will usually have much larger droppings than usual and will start losing feathers from her chest to line her nest. Just keep her cage quiet and peaceful.
This is hilarious, I was sitting here craving hot samosas and read 'budgie'! But yes, female budgies preparing to lay eggs will start eating a lot more, especially calcium-rich food like cuttlebone. Keep her well-fed with fresh greens!
Haha, did autocorrect do this, or are we helping a feathered mom-to-be today? If your female budgie is spending all her time in the corner of her cage, tearing up paper, and ignoring her male partner, she's definitely ready to lay some eggs!
