A tired lady taking a break

[Texas Tiel fan]

This is Dacey taking a short, but MUCH needed break from egg laying. So far we have four in the nest box and I have a feeling she isn't done yet. With any luck and nature smiles on us, we should have our first chick or two around November 3rd or 4th.

Isn't 4 quite a few eggs to have laid @ one time? I don't know much about it.

This is for your girl!

She so cute! Is she sitting on the eggs a lot?

 

[Texas Tiel fan]

It has taken her a little over a week to lay all four eggs. Yes, Her and Kiwi take turns sitting on the eggs. Yesterday was the first time in days Dacey really gave herself a short break and came out of the box / cage for a few head scratches.

Mama's looking good.

Our Ziggy had the number 3 down...two different clutches of 3 eggs each.

´Tiels, Budgies and Lovies all lay more or less every other day until their clutch is complete. It is not possible to lay multiple eggs at the exact same time.

She is looking well Robert, it´s good she takes little breaks every now and then

I thought just one! Very interesting indeed!!!

Smaller birds such as cockatiels and budgies may easily lay 6 or more eggs at a time... laying an egg no sooner than every other day, but may take longer between eggs... some have even laid 10+ eggs for a clutch! Smaller numbers are easier to handle! Especially for first time parents.
