eggs

Hello everyone! So my son went off to college and left me with 4 Conures. Over the past month (only through researching) I've noticed them having nesting behavior. They have a nesting box, which for a little over a week, all 4 have spent the majority of their time inside. 2 days ago I found an...

Hi guys, I'm back cause my little green chicken decided to ring in the nice weather with a little surprise again this year! 😭 Since last year, I listened to the advice most of you guys gave me, so preemptively, I kept an eye on nesting behaviors, switched around everything in her cage...

I am the proud owner of a pair of black-headed caiques. 4 years ago, at the age of 9, the couple began laying eggs. But, unfortunately, laying fertilized eggs once a year, they freeze 2 days before hatching. Tell me, what could it be.?

My sun conures have laid two eggs so far! I’m very excited. I want to hand feed them but am unsure at what age to take them from their parents. I have heard different recommendations. Anywhere from when they first hatch to four weeks. Any advice is welcome.

Hello! I need some advice on what to do with a family member and her budgies. She recently moved into our home with 3 budgies that she got from a neighbor (2 males, 1 female, about 5 y/o now). Their cage is on the smaller end (2' L x 3' H x 2' W), but they were never socialized when they were...

I’m trying to find somewhere that sells Macaw eggs, I recently got an incubator and wanted to hatch my own Macaw. Has anyone here ever bought parrots eggs? And if you have, where? I can’t find anywhere that seems legit online.

Rosie and Jaybird incubating their new eggs. I knew Rosie was expecting an egg since she had egg bum, but Jaybird’s bum looked normal.

Rosie and Jaybird, newlyweds, both laid an egg today. Obviously not fertilized since Rosie was the one who was doing the humping.

I currenting have 5 eggs incubating in a homemade incubator everything that is needed for the eggs have been met as all 5 have life. Now the first egg has started pipping 28 hours ago . It still only has a small hole. I have tried to read and do research on the matter but not much is found. I...

Hi guys, long story short: Whiskey laid 2 eggs which is adorable. They are clearly duds (we checked) but we left them for her of course so she can take care of them and follow her nature. I read that they usually abandon them after 3 weeks but it´s been 4 weeks now and she´s still all over...

Hi, We have a pair of love birds and they are more than 1 year old. We got them last year. A few days ago we noticed the male is not coming out of the nest. After we checked, there were 5 eggs. We were seeing that it's the male that usually sits on them. Now we checked and there are 8 eggs...

Hi all, Whoa, I made this account when I was TWELVE and now I'm well into college. I wonder if any of you from 2012/2013 are still on here? I'm back to ask a pretty urgent question. Two years ago, I saved a house sparrow who fell out of her nest and because of a bunch of complicated reasons...

Hello everyone. I am brand new to this forum, and hoping to find some fellow animal lovers to help me out. My husband surprised me with a pair of juvenile Indian Ring Necks just over 2 years ago. He was told that they "had not been socialized in awhile" and brought them home knowing I can tame...

I have two beautiful lovebirds which will be 2yrs old in June. Before now I assumed they were both male because they hadn't laid any eggs. However in the past couple weeks they appeared to be copulating and this week egg laying started. The first egg was laid in their food dish. So I quickly...

Hello everyone, I am currently searching for cockatoo eggs. I have been doing research on breeders but most are international and likely scams from what I’ve read online. I have an incubator and I’ve raised birds and poultry before. Does anyone know of a legitimate breeder in the US (Preferably...

I'm worried that the male might harm the eggs, the male enters the nest box and don't know if I should remove him and leave the female alone. Does anyone have any information regarding that. Thanks in advance for your help.

I need help from those with experience. A bit of background. I have my female Conure “Kiwi” who is almost 5, have had here since she was a baby. We rescued our male “Buddy” at about a year old, we have had him a 1 1/2yrs. Kiwi and buddy hated each for the almost the 1st year than feel in love...

Hello! My beloved pets of a few years (Brazil and Zealand) have decided to pop out some eggs a second year in a row! Last year, all of their chicks died. This year, I am determined to ensure their health. As I was changing out the birds' bedding, they both came out of the nest box. Because of...

First off, we are 100% new to parakeet breeding/eggs. Especially seeing as we had not considered it a possibility, we believed that we had two female parakeets. We understand, of course, that these eggs may very well be infertile. But we simply think it best to care for them as if they were...

My African Grey girl just laid an egg (which may have been fertilised by the boy, although she did lay 2 blanks a few years ago) and she isn't sitting on it. She laid it on the floor of the lounge when she was out playing. I moved the egg into a nestbox in her aviary, then put her into the...

Hello, I have a sister/brother bonded pair of Lovebirds. They are about 2 years old and the female just started getting broody a few weeks ago. I didn't recognize the behavior early enough. She just laid her first egg today, but it was a little soft and broke. I clearly need to add some...

Hello we have a bonded pair of ringnecks which we got from a pet shop before last Christmas where they was kept in the back to breed . We got them with a montana cage so we put a nestbox on the side and straight away they was preening each other and preping the nest in the summer just gone they...

So I have two quaker parrots. We put them and their cage outside (they were inside the cage). So my dad went to cleanup their cage, and my female quaker escaped and flew away. We found an egg inside the cage with the male quaker. Is it possible that she flew away because of the egg? Getting...

I need someone to tell me how to care for these baby birds. I've never bred birds before. I know that patience and time is needed, and I know that the lives of these babies are in my hands. Someone please tell me the next step! Thank you so much! :orange:

My green cheeked conure Zazu has been laying eggs for a while now. She recently just had her 7th egg. How many more should I expect? Thanks!

I have had a blue and gold for several years, WE bought him from a man who told us it was a boy and we had always assumed he was right. Recently the bird, who is VERY attached to me, started acting very hormonal and was constantly trying to share food with me and getting very frustrated to the...

I have a single female, named Lucky, who seems obsessed with building a nest. About a year ago, she had an egg burst inside her, and it nearly killed her. I don't want her producing eggs, should I stop her from her nest building behavior?

So, after months of talking it through me and my fiance decided to get a mate for my birdie. We are doing extensive research into breeding and i cannot figure out which Incubator would fit the egg correctly.. What are your suggestions as to which incubator? I would like one that i can adjust...

Hi everyone! Today I came home from MA. I had expected my finch eggs to hatch when I got back. I checked the nest and could hear tinny little peeps!

We have a double yellow headed Amazon who is approximatly 6-7 years old and we have owned her for 1 1/2 years. We thought she was a male how ever she laid 2 eggs about 30 days ago which are infertile as she has not been around any other birds. She is still siting on the eggs, how long should we...

Hi all, I have a fourteen year old tiel, Peaches. I've had her since she was two and she thinks she's still a young lady. She was quite a chronic layer when she was young (and before I became aware that I shouldn't help contribute to more cockatiels, when there are already so many who need...

So about a week ago one of my female lovebirds laid four eggs. She is bonded with a male, so I believe they are fertile. Though I have bird experience, I have not dealt with newly hatched baby birds. I saw in a few places and was told that I would not necessarily have to hand feed the babies and...

I have a 15 year old Lesser Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Last December she laid 2 eggs, which surprised the heck out of me. She laid her first while sitting on my shoulder!! She had this 'kicking or digging" behavior which I've never seen until this past year. The holistic vet started her on a...
