Someone told me that it might be because she is preparing to lay an egg. Can this be the cause? She never laid an egg. She is about 2 years old.

She's clearly struggling to breathe - time for the vet. Whether it's an egg or not makes no nevermind.

Is your bird a girl?
Does that look like an egg bump? It’s hard for me to tell because I don’t have budgies, but has your bird been hormonal and nesty? I think I a trip to the vet is in order. @Ripshod?

She is definitely having problems breathing, tail bobbing is a classic symptom. Particularly with a budgie it could be several other problems including egg laying.

It is a girl. I suspect that she may lay eggs. But other people said that nevertheless she is struggling to breathe. She isn't hormonal or nesting though. I will take her to the vet tomorrow.
