I also posted this on budgie fourms
So tonight I said goodnight to my budgies and covered them and I hear them climb and peck for a few minutes and then they calm down. The problem was after a minute I heard nothing but shuffling around and I liked thinking someone had a night terror except when I pulled the cover off I couldn't as it was stuck to Elise's little toe I panicked for a few seconds then snapped out of it telling myself to get it together.
So outside of the cage I tried to help her since I didn't want scare her by opening the door. That didn't work so I put my hand in after grabbing scissors and she imediatly tried to lay in it (she isn't tame) & she was so still I thought she had died (when I was 4 a budget flew out & died of shock). She ended up moving and biting me trying to pull herself out and then I somehow freed her without using the scissors and then she flew to the bottom and climbed to the top and I talked to her for a few minutes as well as the other budgies.
This has never happened before, do I need to get s new cover? What can I do if this happens again?
Also please give feedback if I did anything wrong (keep in mind my mom was sleeping when this happened) Elise is ok now
