My Parakeet is not being it self it is not active it is standing at the bottom of the Cage. When i get close?

Question

to it it wants to bite. Please does any one know what is going on.

Answer 1

It could be molting, they get really grumpy when they are molting, or it could be trying to lay an egg, if you are really worried, I would contact the vet and ask them if they can tell you what might be wrong.

Answer 2

Can you see any eggs? Yes, even without another bird, my parakeet started laying eggs (one at a time) on the bottom of the cage. Often she would stand on the bottom and not let me near her food bowls or to clean. After a while I would try to distract her to remove the egg.

She quit after about 2 weeks, and has not had anymore.

Answer 3

It might just not feel good

Answer 4

that has two reasons..

#1 your budgie must be having a difficulty passing an egg (if its a female)

#2 it is sick

to make sure what is really wrong with your budgie, try asking an avian veterinarian..

hope i helped :D

PS: I also have pet budgies :)
