Question
hi!
my female layed eggs with a mate and a couple hatched. since then, shes been having HUGE droppings. why?

Answer
Hey Katelyn, thanks for posting!
Most likely she has huge droppings because she's spending all/most of her time in the nesting box.  She'll hold her droppings until she can't wait any longer, then she'll leave the nesting box, and release a huge dropping. Once she stop spending so much time in the nesting box, the droppings should go back to normal.

I can answer many many questions on nesting, eggs, etcetera. Behavior, illnesses, diet, training and taming. There are some things I can't answer on illnesses but I do believe I can help with most of them. My strongest areas would be nesting, eggs and mating.

Experience

I breed budgies. Only budgies. And I have exprienced all of the things I wrote when you asked me what kinds of questions can you and can't you answer.

Education/Credentials
I studied bugdies for quiet a while before recieving my first. I know what to do in an emergancy and also basic information people may need to take care of their bird(s).

Past/Present Clients
Whenever one of my good friends has a question about budgies, I'm the one they ask. I don't think of them as clients, I just would say I help them in times of emergancies or general knowledge around the subject
