heyy
our canary is currently pregnant, she has laid 2-3 eggs and now she is sitting at the bottom of the cage and she is having trouble moving, i put her back in the nest for assistance but she fell back out, does anybody know anything about this could you please help

Its sounds like she may be egg bound, keep her nice and warm and put some vasceline around the vent area. Does it look swollen around vent at all?

This needs to be done urgently!!! Make sure she has access to plenty of things rich in calcium too, otherwise the eggs will be soft and can be fatel and also cause her to become egg bound.

She should have cuttle bones, egg food etc.

Fingers crossed, do let me know how you get on.

This is almost certainly egg binding. Take her to the vet as an emergency. They will probably give the bird a hormone treatment to make her expel the egg, and maybe antibiotics. Give plenty of cuttlefish (for calcium), which should be crushed up with the back of a spoon. A good quality mixed cage grit also provides essential minerals and calcium.

My female Parson's finch needs 2 teaspoons of crushed cuttlefish every day.

Without Vitamin D, calcium cannot be absorbed. The best source in my opinion is egg food enriched with Vitamin D supplement.

Vitamin D can be produced from sunlight but window glass affects the quality of light and there is no benefit.

Birds affected by egg binding may be able to produce hard-shelled eggs if their diet is right, but a vet told me that some birds which have a good diet are prone to this anyway because of genetic reasons, or because the bird is very young.

she is really swollen around her vent, im not sure but i think she might have a egg sitting in there :|

How is your canary today?

I hope she is ok, i find vasceline and a nice warm place really helps them to pass the eggs quickly. Espcially when it's not always easy to get to your avian vet very quickly.

Hope she is ok!

Lovely to hear the good news!

Glad your little bird is ok. My cockatiel once seemed to be a bit uncomfortable passing an egg so when I went for my shower I took her in the room with me and sat her on a towel next to the bath while I showered. The heat and the steam relaxed her and she laid her egg within 20mins. Thats another tip you can try although if that doesnt get the egg moving I would take her to a vet (im sure you kmow that already!)
