Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Female | unspayed | 1lb
Our parakeet is egg binding. I don’t know what to do. I watch the videos on how to do it with my hands to get the egg out but can’t find what type of lubricant to use

You can soak her in a warm bath deep enough to submerge her vent for 15-20 minutes. Then use a bit of olive oil around the vent to help her lay. If this is not successful, have her seen by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian.
