I have a female peach faced lovebird that has discovered the joys of masturbation... will this behavior trigger egg laying? She does not have a cage mate but has been exhibiting hormonal behavior and just today discovered how to self-love on her perch. If she did lay an egg it would be unfertilised but I don’t want to put her through that kind of stress as I have lost other birds to egg-binding.

Triss lay a small clutch after getting jiggy with one of her toys before I took it away. It could definitely trigger egg-laying.

Oh darn. I was hoping it would settle her down a little bit, because she has become very bitey and has started plucking feathers around her neck due to hormonal frustration. She wants to mate with my husband and is increasingly agitated because he cannot reciprocate her amorous advances.
