eggs

i have 2 cockatiels that have started to breed and just laid some eggs. My question is should i let the parents incubate the eggs or is it best to take the eggs now and incubate them myself? It is their first time breeding and the eggs look completely fine. They have gotten very aggressive so i...

My pineapple conure started laying eggs (due to male activity) and I’m wondering how long it takes to lay an egg? She laid her first egg 48 hours ago (the egg appeared to be healthy). She has an ‘egg butt’, and she is acting normal for the most part. I’m starting to get worried that her egg...

Hi, We have a pair of love birds and they are more than 1 year old. We got them last year. A few days ago we noticed the male is not coming out of the nest. After we checked, there were 5 eggs. We were seeing that it's the male that usually sits on them. Now we checked and there are 8 eggs...

tomorrow we are staying at a different house so we have to move the eggs. apparently you can keep them out of the incubator for an hour and our trip is about 35 mins luckily. when i bought them they came in a styrofoam box with a lid so they are snug inside. is it alright to keep them up or is...

Alright so I'm new to breeding. I have a pair male and female lovebirds and they have some eggs in the nest. As of right now they have laid 5 eggs in total. However the initial 2 had cracked. They have breaded before and the last time they breeded only one of the eggs hatched. After I found out...

hello friends, recently, my pair of lorikeets have mated and laid eggs. This really wasn’t my intention as I never expected them to breed as ones a rainbow and ones a musk but they did. I have already purchased a nest box and the birds seem content with it, with the female spending majority of...

Hello everyone. Hoping for some insight of what complications may arise. Kiwi and Buddy are on their 1st clutch. They are 5 and 2 1/2yr old Conures. Kiwi has laid 5 eggs to date, my problem is the huge gap in egg laying. The ages of the eggs and events Egg 1- 22 days old (She started laying on...

Hi All! I have a pair of lovebirds that have mated. The female laid four eggs at the end of last month, immediately abandoned them, mated with her mate and is now laying more. I am very worried about her getting sick or eggbound, especially if she abandons these and continues to mate and lay...

My cockatiel Paulina has been doing the mating dance daily since we hit the hot weather out here in L.A. ...about 2 weeks ago she got a little pooch at the lowest part of her abdomen. I figured she might be getting ready to lay a nonfertile egg since she is only in her cage with another female...

Hmm okay, hello everyone. I am relatively new here and i am still trying to figure everything out. I had a simple question. So my cockatiel is laying a clutch of eggs right now, and I am pretty sure that the eggs are not fertilised. So, since i was planning on breeding her one day my question...

Hi, I am new to this website and i hope I am posting or the right forum, anyways. I have a sort of aviary (too small to be an aviary too big to be a cage) and I have 2 cockatiels (male and female) and a budgie. They have lived together for over a year and they are all ready to mate. This is the...

Hi! I’m new to this forum, not new to tiels though. I have an 11 month old hen named ruby. (Female tiels I am new to) Ruby started laying eggs last month. First egg broke, So I put a nest in her cage with 6 dummy eggs in it, 3 days later she layed another egg. She’s ignored her real egg, and the...

My cockatiel laid eggs on the 14th, 16th and 18th of February. 2 are fertile the last is not. Well it's close to hatching time (due to hatch one day this week) and mom and dad were doing so good sitting on them but now neither one wants to sit on them. I do not have an incubator to put the eggs...

Hi - long story but I have a pair of cockatiels male & female that came with a dirty 5 inch across open top basket of seven eggs. Several eggs are for sure not fertile from the color / shape. I’m taking to vets Monday that’s the soonest I could get them in. They aren’t sitting or turning the...

So as far as I know, i have two Normal Grey cockatiels, male and female. but after reading some stuff I figured id want your guys' input. the first picture is my female Molly, second picture is my male Rio. Yesterday Molly laid an egg, I dont have the heart to take her eggs away, so Ive decided...

So, my female is going to have eggs soon. They will be fertile, but I'm not sure what to do when they hatch. I want to let my male and female take care of them by themselves. But where should they do it ? Do they need to have a separate box or can they do it in the cage? Also I would like to...

Before you laugh at me and say I’m stupid and is this even a reall thread remember I’m newish to owning birds I’ve hatched them before but my two male lovebirds mate and have some nesting behavior is there a chance they could hatch and raise an egg?

Hi again! So just a quick question. As you know i have two tiels that are both sisters. Chicken has been making little chirping sounds and sticking her butt in the air for a while now (few months on and off) and i'm assuming this is her showing shes 'in heat' or wanting to mate (they are both...

So, I keep on asking questions about birds today! Sorry! But this question isn't for me, its for my friend who actually made me realize I really wanted budgies in the first place! I'm going to call her Phoebe. So Phoebe and I were recently looking at her budgies, and we realized that one...
