1. Hormonal changes: Female budgies can become aggressive during certain hormonal periods, such as when they are breeding or moulting.
2. Territory: Female budgies are territorial and may become aggressive if they feel their territory is threatened. This can happen if you introduce a new bird to the cage or if you move their cage to a new location.
3. Fear: If a female budgie is scared, she may lash out and bite. This can happen if you approach her too quickly or if you make sudden movements.
4. Illness: If a female budgie is sick, she may become aggressive as a way of protecting herself.
