Large droppings, not moving much?

[Clearskybudgies11]

One of my budgies, Topaz, has been having large dropping, and only 2-4 a day. I'm worried about her, she hasn't wanted to go out of the cage at all today, and she is barely moving around at all, just perching on a empty large white food bowl that I no longer use. I was going to remove it, but she wouldn't leave it, and I didn't want to stress her out if she was sick, so I stopped trying to get her off. She is normally very active and always wanting out of the cage. She seems to be less than a year old, so I don't think its age, but I will post a picture of her anyway.


I just realized I should of posted this in the health part of the forum  . Really sorry, is there anyway for me to move it?

Could she be laying an egg?

[Clearskybudgies11]

She hasn't laid an egg, she has just been sitting on the side of the food bowl. Should I remove it just in case? She seems happy, but she only leaves the empty food bowl to go get food or water, and then comes right back.

It does sound like Topaz may be ready to lay an egg. Keep a close eye on her. And keep us posted.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't had internet connection for some odd reason, but its alright now. She has been having smaller droppings with the larger ones (I think). She is more active now, but still quiet when she is normally quite loud. Her past behavior has been unusual. A few days ago I put in a toy for them to destroy made out of egg carton, and it was gone in a day and a half (It was a very long strip, and I was surprised at how fast it was destroyed). She was also more friendly to Indigo, when she usually freaks out whenever he comes near. Just a few days ago, when the problems had already started, I put in another, and its still barely touched.

Thank you!

She's fine now! Thank you for replying. I don't know what is was but she is acting perfectly fine

I'm so pleased she's feeling better, they don't half make us worry.
