Our Concure Parrots have been together and never laid a clutch now at 10 years old she laid 2 back to back. We had no clue she was pregnant and the 1st egg broke when she had it in the water dish and figuring out what to do is how I think the other 2 went bad cause you can tell at 1 point each was fertile. Before I could have my husband pull the 1st confirmed loss out of the nesting box he quickly built but to late there were 3 and he was lost at what to do and I was gone for a few days. Now there are 7 eggs and she keeps laying eggs. Last time I checked 4 looked fertile and 2 weren't but we left them all together cause she's very protective and so is he. She laid number 7 the other day the last 2 eggs were a week apart. I haven't checked to see the fertile status of the eggs in over a week. Going to tomorrow. We are giving her extra calcium. He will bring her food and we will open the box side enough to feed her a carrot or a treat daily and he makes sure he gets her out to drink. It's amazing seeing them work together for their babies. We rescued them and thought we were way past this point. They bonded as babies and grew up together but I guess the people that bought them weren't counting on the long lifespan of the birds and the wouldn't mate even though they purposely bought a male green cheek and female sun concure. Any tips on how to get her to stop laying more eggs without hurting her or her eggs? She is such a good mama laying on them constantly. Any advise help we are lost.
