eggs

My Louis and Ladybird have decided they want to become parents! I tried to prevent it (changing the cage up every week, limiting shower time in the summer), they bonded well and agreed it was time. After 2 weeks of honeymoon I was shocked to find ladybird behind the fridge guarding a little egg...

Hi everyone, I didn’t know under which forum to post this thread so I chose here because I’m still new to Avian Avenue. Anyways, my almost 2 years old female cockatiel has spent almost a month and half sitting on her infertil eggs. I want her to stop how can I do that? I’m very concerned. I’m...

Hi there! Yesterday I brought home 3 canaries (a hen, buttercup and two cocks, prince and chase) for breeding. I still need to get another hen, but thats besides the point. Yesterday all 3 were happily flying around my aviary, all very active and seemingly healthy. This morning I went into the...

Hi All, I have below a clutch of cockatiel eggs that have been turning blue/grey in color. I just wanted to get some information from your experience as to why this could be and how to prevent it. I know they are probably DIS(dead in shell) but what is intriguing me is that there are 4 eggs...

Hello. I know this topic has been discussed many times on this forum. But I'm not sure where else to turn at this point. I have a female cockatiel who is just a year old. I wanted a male, specifically because I know females can have issues with eggs. The store that sold her to me assured me it...

I have a female cockatiel, she is eight months, which apparently would make her an "adult". She is my only cockatiel, and also hasn't laid eggs yet. Would she be considered "mature"? (I'm not planning any breeding or anything, and I know that they have to be around 11 months for that). I just...

Ok after talking with Lada's parront, she suggested at this point to go ahead and just take away the box that was originally recommended for a little while. So in effect we are attempting to reboot Lada and snap her out of her breeding mood. She stopped laying eggs after 2 and was sitting on 4...

So apparently its that time of the year. Lada has gotten broody. She laid an egg several days ago (on me I might add lol). At first she wanted nothing to do with it and didn't even acknowledge it so I removed the egg at the recommendation of Lada's parront. He parront also requested I give Lada...

Seems pretty common that most finches, in fact several species of bird will lay several eggs before starting to incubate them. This confuses me. I have observed my finch pair in the past with their eggs. There may be some difference in behavior once they start the official incubation behavior in...

We have been slowly introducing Sunflower to new foods, and we gave her some scrambled eggs. She absolutely loves them. I was wondering how much she can eat. Right now, she eats one egg a week, and I give her a little bit each day for about four days. It's her new favorite food, and I was...

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...

hey i have two Indian ring necks one is a lutino (lady) and the other is morris who is i believe a sky blue cinnamon. at the moment they have four eggs and i believe maybe more to come. lady has been sitting on the eggs for a few days to i believe that the eggs are no longer dormant. every day...

Got the official dummy eggs in the mail a few days ago. Have not used them yet. Still letting Emma lay her full first ideal size clutch (see other post for explanation). When I got the eggs out of the packaging though, I was a little disappointed. Now I know probably 99.98% of you here are going...

So I can confirm James is a female I will now happily be calling Rain. After having some suspicious He was a She I started researching egg laying since I've heard other owners talking about it with some fear. Of course as I'm researching for something I hope won't happen for months I start to...

I bought my cockatiel female a mate last year. for the first time I have put a nesting box in their cage. they have layed 2 eggs in the past week, were waiting for more. They have been sitting on them until today. I decided to go out and buy a better nesting box for them and I have placed it in...

I might have moved a parakeet egg...I thought it would help the mom move into an actual nesting box or you know..the makeshift one I put in there that I moved the egg into. Look I didn't know what to do, I'm still new to the whole,"my parakeets laying eggs thing." I panicked! I probably...
