Can anyone help
One of my aviary budgies has a swollen rear, she spends most of her time in a nesting box. I noticed tonight that she was having difficulty flying, although very lively, managed to catch her, although she did bite me a number of times. Also she is bald on her belly, I took this as a result of spending to much time in the nest box, However the skin appears reddish lower down.
Any ideas please
Thanks
Chris

She could be suffering from egg binding. you may need to take her to the vet soon

If you think it may be egg-binding she needs to go ASAP! You could lose her.

Thanks for replies, I took her to vet this evening, vet examined her, but was unsure as not bird specialist, took photos to send to expert for opinion. She was very uncooperative and bit the vet. I have now got her inside in cage, she has been eating.
Hopefully tomorrow vet will get back to me

Hope she is ok. I did laugh at biting the vet bit.

Sadly she did not make it, she passed away yesterday afternoon. Vet thought it could be a growth
Thanks all for your help and kindness
