My bird's chirping, not eating, gaining weight. Is she egg-bound?

Question

-She has been calling/chirping non stop for the past 2 or 3 days. -At the same time she hasnt been eating and yet gained weight by 2-3 grams (she has been gaining weight for a while now). -poo is liquidy, greenish. -Still flies and cuddles though. -Hormonal lately (we try our best to prevent triggering it) Might she have an egg on the way? And might it be stuck? What should we do? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 95 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Luna. Not eating is the main concern, as even if hormonal, should be eating. The weight gain could be fecal/urine retention, or water weight since not eating. If egg bound is worrisome, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Try offering food by hand. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range for aid. Good luck.
