egg laying

I have a 14 year old female cockatiel named Henrietta who has been a chronic egg layer her whole life. I've taken her to the vet in the past and done everything possible to discourage egg laying behavior. Changed her diet to Lefeber pellets mixed with a little bit of seed and Kaytee bird greens...

Hi, I peek thru here from time to time but this is my first posting. We have a female eclectus that was given to us about a year ago. She has always been a plucker but was just starting to fill back in. For the last couple of months she's been spending most of her time under our recliner...

Please help! I found this website when I typed in "Conure Quaker hybrid" and turns out the guy that posted it did it as an April fool's joke so not very helpful.. Well I have a female green cheeked conure and a male Quaker and the female has laid 5 eggs! It's been close to two weeks since this...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping for some input here I have a female lovebird that I adopted a couple of months ago, I have never had a female peach face (I have a single fischers male other than her) so I'm not really familiar with what she is supposed to look like normally. The female (Mango)...

My cockatiel started laying eggs late Friday night. Then laid a soft shell egg Sunday morning. Well I threw away the soft shell egg because it was damaged.. and the first egg got broken open :( I thought she was due to lay another yesterday but no egg. She doesnt have any symptoms of egg...

Hello! My cockatiel, Lestat, has been in bring-me-a-boyfriend mood for the past few weeks. From the research I did when it started, it said it's natural and there's nothing I can do about it, but!! this morning I woke her up to find one egg being sat on in the bottom of the cage. I'm googling...

I work at a pet store, and our canary recently started laying eggs. At first, I was removing them, then after a quick search, I learned that was bad to do, so I stopped doing that. She has currently laid them in her food dish, despite a nest being in the cage, so I put a second food dish in...

I've had two cockatiel hens in the past that laid eggs. Each time this happened we only had the one bird. There were no other birds in the house. The first only laid a few, but the second got to where she laid quite often. I would remove them, but she still seemed to be moody and became more...

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I posted but I am beginning to suspect that Mango may be pregnant! So, the thing is I noticed today she was sitting in the little nest we put in many months ago for them to sit in, but she keeps shaking/vibrating her tail end and barely leaves the nest. (She...

Hi! I’m new to forums, so I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but I’m concerned about my female lovebird...I can post a picture, but it was very hard to get a good one. Her abdomen seems to be slightly enlarged...it looks like she has a lump above her cloaca... A few months ago, I took her to...

Hello everyone! My cockatiel's name is Snow and she's about 4 years old. In December she laid eggs for the first time and then again last month, which I know is normal. However, since laying her last egg about 2 1/2 weeks ago, she's doing the mating stance/chirping again. I'm wondering if this...

Hello! Im not a breeder but I was hoping you could help me. My cockatiel just laid her first egg two days ago. Shes 9, so we werent really expecting the situation. The problem is her poop. It seems like earlier she had some blood in her poop (it was dark) but by today it seems back to normal...

So Charlie & Emma are on their second clutch (at least since arriving home with me) and interestingly enough, Emma decided to only lay 6 eggs this time. I know you may be asking, "I thought you weren't going to let them lay eggs this time?" Originally yes, that was the plan, but then I thought...

Charlie and Emma are at it again. Emma laid her first egg of her second clutch today. I was originally planning on replacing eggs this time right out of the gate, but actually, I think I will let her lay all her eggs again one more time. I am curious to see if she stops right at 7 again. Third...

So I have been observing Charlie and Emma warming their (fake) eggs over the last several days. They are obviously in full incubating mode and switch off egg sitting duties every hour or two. So one interesting thing I have noticed is the movements they make when sitting on the eggs. At first I...

Well at least they are on the way... As anticipated, Emma laid her first egg today. She seems to have immediately taken to sitting on it as opposed to waiting a few days to start incubating. I'm guessing this may be because she is still a young inexperienced parent? Or, perhaps its just her...

hello, i am this accounts owners friend and will be posting this on hers since i dont have an account yet and this is an urgent matter. and i have 2 budgies. originally i had one budgie, snowie and then got another budgie, sunnie. at first i thought snowie was a boy because i got him when he was...

Hello. I was wondering what you can do to prevent a tiel from chronic egg laying? I also would like to know how budgies and cockatiels get along, I have heard they get along pretty well? Thanks. :)

Happy New Year everybirdy! My Jenday conure, Samantha Carter has not laid eggs in years. She is a rescue and age is questionable (I have had her 15 years) She started laying eggs right after Christmas and is on her 3rd on which is still to come. I know they lay 2-5, but how many days apart...

I have 1 male and female pair of cockatiel. I'm confused whether apiky (female) is about to lay eggs. They have stopped mating since 1 week. Usually they used to be mating daily. But now i haven't seen them since 1 week. So I'm sort of confused regarding this. Fluffy ( male) keeps on singing...
