@Lady Jane ? @Monica ?Sorry to bother you. A new comic coming soon, but Mellie, the parakeet is acting strangely. ADVICE PLEASE. I'm hoping someone can give some advice or input. Mel, laid eggs a few weeks ago. She had been sitting on one of them for almost 3 weeks, but suddenly seemed to lose interest. She has now gotten into the habit of sticking her claw into the top of her beak and then she throws up on her foot, and then proceeds to eat it. I am so worried about her, because she keeps doing it again and again and again. I think she's gone insane. She is making herself throw-up with her foot. She's obsessed and doesn't even want to come out of the cage. Any advice would be great. I can't find anyone with the same experience. Thank you!
Thank you for any advice.
Thank you for everyone's advice.I've heard of other birds doing this.... cockatiels and, I think, lovebirds? It wouldn't hurt to rule out medical causes in all honesty.
If perfectly healthy, you can try training new behaviors and increase foraging activities.
I will have to look into foraging activities! Thanks for your advice.Thank you for everyone's advice.
Thanks for responding. It's been about a couple weeks since she abandoned her eggs and yes, I did remove it. They say it's hormonal behavior and I should just keep an eye on her.When did she abandon her eggs? Have you removed them?
I second what Monica said, best have a little check up and make sure she´s ok
Thank you so much for your kind words. Keep checking them out.I love your comics! They inspire me! I wish I had the will to make a comic!
