Such hard work! Chewing up wood all day today. Then Q time with Daddy and out comes her first eggie. She squeaked and flapped her wings. Scared Dave, I came running in to see this egg on the counter as he removed her vest :omg:

Well, she's now fast asleep in my lap! :heart:

My sweet baby is worn out lol. :facepalm:

Has she just recently plucked those tummy and chest feathers? Do you think she may be thinking about the brooding?

Her feather picking has been ongoing for years. This is not associated to this as recent thing. But she seems like she's still mortified this happened.

She just had a snack, keeping an eye on her hoping there was just one in there!

Oh boy! Sounds like she was just as scared as you two!

Mine seems to be over the worst of the hormones. He’s not attempting to mount stuff anymore which is good and the mood swings are basically over. I only got bit once this season and it was my fault. I tried moving him without my glasses on, and he’s not used to seeing me without my glasses. He’s back to being his sweet fluffy self now. Although he did just get done yelling at an ice cream cone. I gave him a cone as a treat at lunch to tear apart. He threw it on the ground immediately, looked at it and yelled “Heyyyyyyyy”. Then turned and looked at me and said “Come here!” Like he was going to scold me hahaha

Awe, that’s such a cute pic!
It’s amazing the things that set them off, like you not wearing your glasses. Yesterday I went to let Jo out for playtime and he did his “angry beep” at me and took off in the other direction. I didn’t get it at first, then I remembered some of the posts on here...I had just taken a shower and my hair was wet, DUH! He obviously doesn’t like wet monster mommy lol I dried my hair, came back, and he stepped right up as usual.
I guess budgies aren’t as different from the bigger birds as I thought. They're all smart, crazy, moody yet lovable little lunatics :cool:

Thank you very much! Yes, poor baby is still so quiet today. We honestly didn't expect this to happen.

A little update on the big Girlie. Now that she's a fully mature Too. She is back to being her normal self. I will be more aware as to the next time we might see an egg. Come to think of it, she did shred some paper that I cover the grate with. Also she seemed more picky on eating with total gusto.

So these mental notes I will store in my memory bank!

Thank you all, I was so concerned that she was sore or just so scared of what happened to her!

She's good tonight and I am happy!
