What are ALL the signs of a female Parakeet is egg-bound?

I think my Parakeet is egg bound. She is breathing really hard and her vent is really wide, which I guess indicates that she is pregnant because when she was pregnant 2 other times that’s how it looked. And yes, she did mate. Her eyes are really wide too. Please give me a list of everything that indicates that a female Parakeet is egg-bound. Thanks.

Does anyone know why my birds are just up and dying, with no signs of being sick??

I have had my parakeets for a few months, and they seemed happy, and had no signs of being sick. Well 3 days ago, my female parakeet dropped dead, and yesterday, my male parakeet died, and tonight my last male parakeet died. Before this started happening, my female finch died in her nest, but she also showed no signs of being sick. Someone please help!

Signs of a Sick Parakeet Revealed

If you take care of your bird long enough, chances are he’ll get sick sooner or later.  Since he will do his best to hide whatever is wrong, it’s important that you learn to recognize the signs of a sick parakeet.  This article will share a few things to look for.

Droppings

One of the most common symptoms of a health condition is a change in your bird’s droppings.  It may change color, be watery, or appear looser than usual.  Also take note if you every spot seeds in the droppings.  However, a change in droppings can sometimes be attributed to a minor cause such as a change in food.

Appetite

Speaking of food, one of the next common signs of a sick parakeet is a change in appetite.  You should also be aware of your keet’s eating habits.  That way, you can easily tell if it changes one day.  So, be on the lookout for excessive eating or a reduced appetite.  Birds with a reduced appetite will also start losing weight.

Feathers

The appearance of your bird’s feathers can also tell you if something is wrong.  They shouldn’t be ruffled or puffed up for long periods of time.  They also shouldn’t be discolored.

Discharge

The appearance of discharge can also tell you if there is something wrong with your bird.  Sick birds can sometimes produce discharge from their nostrils or eyes.  This may also be accompanied by sneezing or eye swelling.  These are usually serious symptoms that require prompt veterinary attention.

Breathing

A sick parakeet may also experience difficulty breathing.  You should particularly look for rapid breathing, wheezing, or breathing through an open mouth.  Some birds will also bob their tail with each breath they take.

How do I care for my very sick parakeet until I can get her to a vet in the morning?

I made her a warm nest at the bottom of the cage next to a water dish
thanks to everyone for answering but my bird died before I was able to get to a vet becasue it showed signs of being sick at night and by morning she had died. I found out the cause was from fumes from a non stick pan
