How do you know if your budgie is carrying an egg?

You can tell if your budgie is carrying an egg by observing certain behaviors and physical signs. Look for nesting behaviors, such as your budgie spending more time in a specific area, shredding paper, or showing increased restlessness. Additionally, if she has a swollen abdomen or her vent area appears more prominent, these can indicate that she is carrying an egg. Monitoring her behavior and physical condition will help you determine if she is likely to lay eggs.
