I am not a breeder. I have a pair of lovebirds with a clutch of 5 eggs, the oldest egg is about 14 days .
One of the eggs broke and there is gook in its place. It is now in a messy spot on the date palm leaves (of which the nest was made).
But the mother is still sitting on the other 4 eggs all the time.
My gut reaction was to remove the gook - it is probably not very healthy and will soon be harmful.
But I thought, what happens in the wild? There is no human to come and clean up these things? Maybe there is some benefit nature has in store?
So, should I remove the mess of the 1 broken egg?
