My tiel keeps laying. Nothing has helped. Today I woke up to yet another egg in her cage... this one looks deformed and weak, and I'm terrified of yet another egg binding incident. She lays a full clutch every 2 months. She has cuttlebone and a medically prescribed diet but has still easily broken a leg recently. I'm not sure what else to do to help her and changing her environment completely with a new owner is the only option I haven't tried yet as much as it breaks my heart. It would at least disrupt her egg laying for a while so her poor body can recover. She comes from a lineage of backyard breeder hens... the problem seems to be genetic. 14-16 hours of darkness doesn't help, neither did 24 hours of light. She is very nesty and although she's very very affectionate it scares me to scritch her head too much in case it'll make the problem worse... I've been too so many different avian vets with her and the next step after rehoming would be Lupron. I don't trust the safety of this unless it's a last resort so unfortunately I will try to rehome her first.
Is there any good resources for rehoming tiels or organisations. I don't trust the shelter I volunteer at with her after multiple incidents recently. I would not trust them to look after her fragile health properly. I want her to go to someone with bird experience and other birds of a compatible species.
