Why is my female budgie sick after laying eggs, and male shedding?

Question

my female budgie laid eggs 3 weeks ago but now she is sitting in the cage and not in the nesting box, she is also showing some signs like fluffed feathers and Wheezing or clicking sounds and decreased appetite (it is her second time lying eggs), my male budgie has also been dropping a decent amount of whole feathers.

Thanks for reaching out. Sitting quietly, fluffed on the bottom of the cage is not an indication of laying again. It is more probably a sign of illness and should see a veterinarian. Wheezing and respiratory clicking sounds are an indication of a respiratory infection, necessitating the need for systemic antibiotics. The second budgie, loosing feathers, could be a stress molt, but several viral disease could also be the cause. See your veterinarian. Good luck.
