Our pet budgies have been mating an awful lot recently and the hen has laid 2 eggs on the bottom of the cage, which have both been eaten by both parents. There are no other birds in the cage.
She has taken to sitting in her large food container most of the day, and is fed by her mate. She does come out occasionally to feed, but spends most of her time in her food pot.
She looks as though she might be ready to lay again as she has a swollen bottom, but there are no eggs in the container.
She is also plucking the feathers from her bottom.
What is going on? They are 6 years and 3 years old and have lived together for 3 years with no incidents of mating or nesting.
Thank you
