Cockatiel behaviour?

[G12sbmx]

Hello guys hope you having a goodday, i was wondering why is my baby girl doing the behaviour in the video i attached? I cant really understand what is she doing, if she is in pain or maybe hormonal or smth?

Thanks for reading parrotlovers

I think this is hormonal behavior. Is she still eating, drinking, and showing interest in toys?

How old is she?

Yes she is fine as usual, she might do it very rarerly, btw she makes eggs once in a while

How old is she?

3 years old

Probably hormonal. A female positions her body flat horizontally for mating. I never see males do that posture. If she's eating, drinking and pooping normally she isn't likely in pain or sick.

That's female hormonal behavior. Especially if/when she makes a cooing noise while at it.

She makes eggs maybe once a month btw, i let the eggs inside so she wont make more, and yesterday she broke both eggs and ate them first time she is doing it any idea why? I give her veggies 3-4 times per week, she eats seeds and little bit pellets and i also give them some vitamins in the water weekly to keep their immune system strong

I've never had a budgie eat her eggs. I don't know why a tiel would do that. Maybe she broke one by accident, tasted it while trying ito clean up the mess (budgie hens keep their nests clean), and liked it so she broke the other and ate it too. I don't know.

My budgies all like to eat plain scrambled eggs. It's very good for them so I give them a bit maybe once a week. I've never given them raw eggs and won't for many reasons. Try adding some hard boiled or scrambled egg to her diet. She could really use the extra protein, vitamins and minerals in her diet, especially since she's a habitual egg layer. Make sure she has a cuttlebone and/or mineral block to replace the calcium she loses each time she produces and lays eggs.

Thanks for your info
I used to give them eggs before but when i visit our avian vet he told me not to give them cz its fatty alot since they are in the cage or room and not in the wild. But i will start giving them at least once a week and i hope she stops laying more eggs cz its hurting her everytime i have 2 calcium blocks in her cage she uses them alot, also in her seeds contain small pieces of calcium, i have chicken at home so i can give them the freshest and organic ones thank you again for your time

Looks like youre doing everything right. Giving her lot of out of cage time to fly around will help keep her fit, trim and healthy. Overweight, out of shape birds are at increased risk for egg binding, and it's a horrible way to die. If you you worry about too much fat in eggs you can always just give the white, but the yolk is loaded with nutrients.

My favorite budgie, Rocky, is laying eggs right now and I wish she wouldn't but there's not much I can do. She lays them in various places and I take them away. Yesterday she laid one on top of the cage and it had a bit of blood on it so it must of hurt! She lives with my mixed sex flock of 9 that fly free in the room all day and is strongly bonded to a particular male who's the egg daddy. I love my girl birds but sometimes I wish they were all males because egg laying often becomes a problem.
