My budgie has a stuck egg for 2 days. Should I help or see a vet?

Question

Hi Coach I would love to know what to do in this situation a when it's been 2 days days that my budgie had this oval form(most likely an egg) near her rear end. Is it an egg binding case which I shouldtry and help her push until it comes out or do I wait, she also became really territorial. Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Female | 1 year and 5 months old | 0.0661 lbs

If you suspect Kiwi is egg bound it would be best to bring her to a vet. While you can attempt to remove the egg yourself with gentle massage with olive oil or vaseline, you risk breaking the egg inside of her which can lead to infection and severe complications. In the future, feeding a balanced diet and additional calcium can help prevent egg binding, but in the case of a currently stuck egg or other protrusion, vet care ASAP is best.
