Hi!
I could use some advice.
Yuki and Momo (lovebird, roseicollis) are mating and Yuki is showing signs of laying an egg. In October she layed 2 eggs, but didn't show any interest in them.
Now she:
- is mating with Momo
- made a whole in a cork perch and sitting there a lot and being protective over it
- has an egg-butt
Of course we don't want chicks. So tonight I'm going to the store to get some dummy eggs to switch them out. She is on a healthy diet and I try every day to get her out of the cage to fly (not always easy).
This will be my first time with a pair of lovebirds with fertile eggs and we are a little nervous about doing it right. So I could use some advice, tricks and tips
Thank you!
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread. I can imagine there are other people with advice surrounding egg switching. But to be sure I put it in the 'lovebird lane'.
