My budgie laid eggs, then stopped. Her tummy is big. Is she egg-bound?

Question

Budgie laid 2 eggs. It's been four days since she hasn't laid any. Her tummy looks enlarged and I'm sure there is egg in there. Why isn't she laying it? She's active and eats normally. Please help ASAP. Thanks. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

She might be egg bound which is a common condition in birds. you will need to take her to an avian vet ASAP, an xray will be done to see if indeed there is another egg inside her, if this is the case the vet will probably need to collapse the egg in order to make it come out.
