Depressed budgie???

[itzjowo]

Hi, I have a budgie named Minty. She is female and laid an egg about a month ago. 

She used to have this little bell, I call it her pretty bell, that she would kiss and play with constantly. Sometimes she would ignore everything and not even eat because she was too busy playing with her bell. i was worried about it, so I removed the bell for periods of time, and would lets her play with it now and then. She never seemed interested with any other toys. now, when I try to give her the bell, she attacks it and refuses to play with it. She is completely disinterested with everything and seems so sad all the time. I tell my parents we should get new toys but they brush me off and say she has plenty. She does not in fact have plenty. All she has is a starter pack of toys that came with her cage. i have tried DIYing many toys and letting her run around and play with stuff, but she just does not seem to enjoy anything. All she does is sit on her perch and mope. I tae her out to play and kiss her and give her bathes, but she just does not seem happy. She used to love taking baths, and now she just screams and flys away. She used to chirp so much I found it annoying, now I have not heard her chirp for days. I don't know what to do and im very scared. Please give me advice Im very worried about her. I just now switched around her cage, and she just hopped up to her perch and has been sitting there doing nothing. She does preen herself though, but Im not sure how well she is eating. her poo is very watery. I just want her to be a happy little budgie what do I do? how can i help her? is she in depression? Please help!!

Budgies clean their feet, just as all animals do, so unless she is causing a bleed I wouldn't worry too much about the foot "biting". Keep an eye on her, though, to be sure that she isn't hurting herself. Also, check the bottom of her feet, looking for anything that might be a sore or beginning of a sore - it may be a raised red patch, or anything that looks different from the rest of her foot.

Does she have anything in her cage to chew? Paper toys, soft balsa blocks, bark from bird-safe trees, natural perches with the bark still on, seagrass matting are just some suggestions. The hens I have known haven't been great toy-players but do love to destroy things, so make sure she has plenty of chewable things in her cage.

Sorry for the overreaction about her foot :S I was on edge and very scared and I had heard birds bite their feet when feeling upset. Also she has a branch that she can chew but maybe I should get her another chew toy? thank you for the response

She needs plenty of chewable toys, not just one or two. It can take some time before they feel comfortable enough with a toy to either play with it or destroy it. Look at my suggestions in my above post.
