Hey all, This is more of an amusement post rather than anything. I have two female cockatiels (yes, they are most definitely both female. Hand raised, officially sexed, etc. plus their typical behaviour more than lines up). The oldest, Eva, is a year and a half and just started laying eggs for...

My female scaley lorikeet laid two eggs recently. One was fertile and one was not. They were laid around 26th of November I checked the egg two days ago and it looked good but when I checked today the egg is damaged and the baby is dead. I'm not sure what happened? Has anyone else had experience...

Hello guys I have two female cockatiels, sisters, they are about 14 months old and we got them from a shop when they were 3 months, so it's almost a year. Throughout this year we let them roam around the house most of the daytime and I tried to train them as much as I could, so they learnt to...

I'll try to explain as briefly as I can, On Friday, 3 days ago, I lifted my bird cage cover to find that 1) An egg was on the bottom of the cage, and 2) we didn't have two males. I was shocked, ecstatic, and anxious. I had wanted two males to avoid this issue as I knew the health complications...

Hi all, I have questions about my lovebird Mossy. She's 3 years old and roam free in my house. She only stay in her cage when I'm not home or bed time. Recently, she laid an egg and I took it away as usual however, she laid another one 3days after I took it away. She had lay them in past but...

I woke up a few minutes ago and when I went to the bedroom where my parrot sleeps, i removed the blanket we use to cover her during the night to get darker and warm her from the cold and there's and egg on the floor of her cage and i don't know what to do. This isn't the first time this has...

Hey there community, I’m debating purchasing some kind of sleep structure for my new Quaker baby as a bit of extra comfort. But I don’t know if Puk is a male or female and I’m worried that a happy tent or something similar could trigger nesting behaviour and potentially egg laying. I’ve had a...

My cockatoo just laid an egg. She is 7, and I don’t know what to do with it. She doesn’t have a mate. But this past two weeks she has been masturbating. She is doing good and she eats and doesn’t have any health issues. How can I stop her from laying eggs. I don’t pet her below the head. I also...

Hi everyone, my female budgie (Ocean) and my female pineapple conure (Zendaya) are extremely close. So close that I believe that Zendaya is making Ocean hormonal. Ocean constantly lays eggs but immediately abandons them and will go right back to feeding Zendaya. I’m just trying to figure out if...

Unfortunately I lost my male Cockatiel a week ago. I got him like 6 years ago with broken leg and a sick friend who passed away in 2 days. I've been told they were 18 years old when we got them. He stayed with me another 6 years...I still feel quilty of not recognizing in time that he is sick...

my 10 year old (?) indian ringneck parrot just layed an egg for the first (and hopefully last) time I think her fondness with her blanket caused this to happen because she treated it like a nest I had no clue what to do I was so worried because she was having trouble laying the egg so I let...

I’m not very familiar with this platform so please forgive me if I do anything wrong! I’ve never had a female bird before so this is new to me. Lulu is a 5 year old parrotlet, and I’ve had her for about 2 years now. She’s laid eggs in the past, about 3, but this is her first time getting ready...

So my 8 year old Lutino cockatiel laid eggs for the first time in years. I’m worried she might be caring for the egg too much. I have a camera set up to monitor her. For the past 2 days she hasn’t been eating or drinking. My 2 year old male cockatiel isn’t helping her either. Today I forced her...

My budgie has as of recently (past day or two) been showing signs that could possibly be her wanting to lay eggs, or her being sick. She’s been sitting in one place more and sleeping a lot, though she’s happily preening as normal. She hasn’t been eating as much even though she usually has a good...

This morning one of my zebra finches laid an egg in her chop bowl, I have two females so it is unfertilized. What should I do to discourage this? I removed the egg, but now I’m not sure if that was the right thing to do, any advice is appreciated!

Hello, please help! My parakeet (Blue) has been laying an egg here or there over the past 2-3 weeks which wasn't an issue then. Recently she has developed a constant slow tail bobbing after the two recent eggs. I checked and she doesn't seem to be egg bound and her behavior is normal. It's just...

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and desperate. I have a two year old cockatiel named Pietri who I love dearly. I have been dealing with her being a chronic egg layer and an extremely hormonal female tiel. I am currently going to a CAV near my home who has been aiding me in treating her...

Hi everyone! My 9 year old female parrotlet has inflated abdomen. I noticed it earlier today when I head a “thump” and went over to her cage to check on her. When I picked her up her abdomen was soft, but swollen. She’s been egg bound before when she was around 4 or 5 and I used humidity...

Hey budgie owners! I hope you and your birds are doing well! I have 1 female and 1 male budgie. I was never planning on breeding the two (in fact, I thought my female was a male until I caught them doing the deed ). My female has laid many eggs in the past few months, but a LOT of them fell down...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some answers here as my googling hasn't given me any answers yet. One of my cockatiels just laid an egg, and its the first time she's done so. I have a good idea of how to handle her and the egg going forward, but what I don't know is what to do with my other...
