Enquring regarding as budgies get old

Question
Hi i was wondering if you can help I have a budgie of about 10 years old female. when a budgie gets old does the bottom of their back start to arch as my budgies has. i was wondering if this was normal. But because this has happened when she goes to toilet it all gets blocked near her poor little bum and it can b uncomfortable for her. Please can u help

Answer
Like most animals, budgies change as they age.  The back arching thing is something I've never seen before, and I would recommend asking a vet about it.  Here on AllExperts, there is a section where you can ask vets questions like this.  Here's the address, sorry I can't help you with that problem: http://allexperts.com/el/700-9/Ask-Veterinarian/

The blocking is a pretty common problem, and thankfully easily treated.  Since she's getting older, her body may not handle foods the same as when she was young.  You can try switching foods, and see if that helps.

Sorry I can't be of more help,
Best of luck!
