What is up with my budgie?

Question

i have 2 budgies but my female budgie has just started to dig her way into the seed holder when she gets in there she falls asleep. why is this? is there something wrong with her?

Answer 1

I don;t know why your budgie falls asllep in the box like that, but I would just let her be, or build or find a small box for her to claim as her own. In case she is nesting.

Answer 2

have you got a female and a male? if so shes probably nesting you cld have a baby on the way or it cld just be a phantom pregnancy

either way just leave her be unless you notice anything unusual like not eating etc (she may pull some of her feathers out and line the 'nest' )so you need to get a nest for her if in doubt ring the vets

Answer 3

every budgie sleeps in different ways

Answer 4

She is probably pregnant & it nesting, how sweet.  Get her one of those wooden boxes with a hole in it (from the pet store) so she can huddle in there & make her nest.

Answer 5

it might be just looking for somewhere to sleep in comfort i mean wild birds sleep in a nest and budgies have a stick to sleep on or the sand paper on the bottom of the cage its no different from a normal bird

Answer 6

is she,he warm enough? they need 90 degrees, get her a nesting box

Answer 7

She is not falling asleep. They just eat weirdly.
