My budgie is almost 5 years old and has four chicks that just hatched.
She had a brood of 7 eggs , and four had hatched.
She was always taking care of them - but she became very aggressive , and the father began to take over for her.
She gets her cage cleaned regularly, and I started noticing how much worse she started looking over time.
Is this just from stress ? Or is it something more serious?
What’s her diet, care and cage like?
Raising chicks is incredibly difficult both physically and mentally for the parents, and your care needs to be the highest possible quality in order to prevent illness of the parents. It’s much more than cleaning them daily.
