My female budgie, Sunshine, is dying. She's got an egg broken and stuck halfway out of her body. I have no vet around and am under quarentine (no symptoms) due to Covid 19 outbreak. She is 6 years old, for some reason her and my male budgie decided to mate while I was on vacation. They have been together 5 years and never any mating. Well, it hasn't gone well and I'm having to say goodbye to her. Joey, my male is beside himself. Poor guy. I tried to wash the area earlier with warm cloth, but I was not able to help her. I think I made it worse which makes me feel horrible. I'm just venting, grieving. Thank you for listening.

I'm so sorry, this happened to me last year. Have you tried bathing her in warm water to soften the egg. It is so awful to see. My Jo was 5 when it happened to her.

Poor little girl  . It's very difficult once the egg is broken and they are open to infection. I can only suggest that, if you can, put some drops of olive oil around her vent or hold her, not too close, over a bowl of steam. If you have any Calcivet place one drop directly into her beak. Can you see any of the broken egg, is there anyway you can get hold of an edge of it very gently with tweezers, after you have done the above, and ease the remainder out. At this stage you have nothing to loose by trying but i'm afraid she will need antibiotics after even if you can remove the remainder of the egg  |

Update:. My baby girl passed away at 5:30 this evening. She fought hard, but had to go. Thanks for everyone's kind words. I've buried her in my garden out back. When the spring comes in more, I'll plant a flower there for her too.
