Today I noticed my budgie Azula seems to have a swollen abdomen. If it were my males, I'd go to the vet straight away, but I wonder if she is gravid despite my efforts to reduce their hormones. My options are to go to the vet ASAP, or try to determine if it's an egg that will pass on its own. She is not hand tame but I can try to examine her physically. And then I would have the question of how long I should wait for her to pass the egg before going to the vet for being egg bound. Any advice?

(before anyone says, yes if she lays an egg I will dispose of it. She doesn't have a "nest" of any sort in the cage, no mirrors, no warm food, 12 hours of darkness under a blackout cover.)
