Female green singing finch's belly is swollen

I’ll be very appreciated if anybody could give me advice.

I found my female green singing finch’s lower belly has been swollen in last few days(please see the photo attached), I’m not sure is it only the fluffy feather or the belly or the cloaca because I don’t feel like to catch her so I can’t have a close look. She recently accepted the other male because I have seen several times that the male fed the female and the female was vibrating her wings at the same time. There is no nest and I didn’t supply the nesting material either.

Hi Haroun,
I usually put the powder of cuttlefish bone into the grain once every 3 to 4 days, but not specifically more recently. Would you suggest that I should give her more at this stage?
