Jessica Desrosiers · Accepted Answer

Female budgies will have a bit of a color change to the cere (colored part above their beak) when their reproductive status changes. it is likely to be a bit brighter or pinker when ready to mate (IE before laying eggs), and then may become more brownish in color when done (IE after laying eggs). As long as she is otherwise acting healthy and normal, this is nothing to worry about. However, if you are seeing any behavioral changes or she appears ill along with the change, it is always best to have a vet take a look.
