My name is Josh and I have a female budgie named Ellie.
Ellie was continuously looking for small places to hide in such as tissue boxes and drawers, so I decided to buy her a breeding box.
She immediately hopped in and made herself comfortable, she has now started to rip up newspaper to fill the box.
She is now laying eggs (without a male), she has layed around 6 eggs in the past week or so.
She is becoming very aggressive, biting me very hard and chirping loudly when she hears noises around the box as she is attempting to incubate the eggs. This is unusual as she is normally a very loving and affectionate.
Is this normal, or should I remove the box from her environment?
