well its her first time and they mate it can take up to 4 weeks. she will spend more time in the nest when she will be ready to lay her eggs. but dont check on her to much. 2-3 times a day if fine any more they will not like it. it takes time. and just let nature do its magic.

iight peace

Answer 3

the only thing I would start to worry about is that she may be egg bound. Trying to pass egg but unable to. make sure you offer lots of calcium at this time. Cuttle bone, crushed oyster shell can get at pet store. Give her a little more time as she may be swollen due to so much breeding behavior. If she starts straining, sitting in nest box fluffed up eating less eyes closed shaking then its off to the vets you go. I would also buy a book on budgies and go to the many websites out there. You can talk on line with experts or email them to. Good luck to you and the budgies. :)
