My female CAG (age 6) laid a non fertile egg. So far it is only one. She is interested in it and tending to it. I have sub eggs on their way. I also have a male CAG. Now I am NOT trying to breed! Let’s that be known, but I understand it may happen. I have read there is birth control for parrots!??? ANYWAYS, now that you know most of the facts, here are my question/s.
I was told by the breeder (that I got her from as an adoption as older pet that someone needed a home for. I wouldn’t buy a breeded bird) to keep her in her cage and not let her out for the next 30 days as that is the time it takes for the complete “egg” cycle.
WHY CAN’T SHE COME OUT? They (both CAG’S) have always been non caged and free to roam for the most part. The only time they are caged is when I am not home, so it seems very unfair to keep her locked up now for 30 days.
