My pigeon laid eggs, now not eating or drinking. Is she okay?

Question

My pigeon laid two eggs a week ago. Today she ate little food but doesn't drink water at all. What's the reason? Why she doesn't drink water? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

She is probably drinking water. I am sure you are not looking at her 24/7 so I would assume she is drinking when you are not watching. If she is not drinking or eating well then she is probably sick. She may have a vitamin/mineral deficiency from laying the eggs. I suggest you review her diet and husbandry and make sure you are doing everything 100% correct. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/pigeons-and-doves-feeding
