I have a 2 year old budgie hen. Today she is a bit fluffed and her droppings are huge but mostly formed, light green in color, clear watery stuff around the formed part. She is also displaying a bit of labored breathing with some tail dipping. I have been giving her dried birdy greens. I also have been giving her some bird Herb Salad that I got from Ladygouldian.com. She is also been broody, working on a nest in her cage. Now I know that the droppings can get huge when they are nesting but this looks different because of the light green color. One time I saw her squirt the clear fluid with bits of the dropping in it. I naver saw her do this before. I have her on electrolytes and Bac-trim right now. If she isn't better by tomorrow morning I will be trying to find a vet. Last time I needed a vet no one in my area would mess with birds. I will be putting some heat on her when I get done with this post. She is still fairly active puttering around her little nest area. Please help!
