My female budgie Joey is 11 months old. I hand raised her last year and we are incredibly bonded. She's also overly hormonal and must be kept away from males- not even visual sight of them. She laid 4 eggs last April after males courted her through the cage bars when she hit puberty at 6 months old.
She's a very high energy budgie. Always wants to fly and be on me. Yesterday she postured to me, arching her back, raising her tail and pinning her eyes. She went i. Her cage and kicked all the food out of a food dish and settled into the bottom of the dish like she was nesting. Last night she wouldn't come out of her cage which is odd but I figured she was tired. This morning she still wouldn't come out and is acting "tired". She's not acting like herself today. She's not flying around like usual. She's eating but looks sluggish. She rarely naps and she's tucking her head back.
I'm worried that she's going to lay eggs again but I'm more worried she is in early stages of getting egg bound. Should I bring her to the vet right away?
