Hello there! Newbie here...

[Kelichijouji]

Hello one and all! I'm a newbie bird Aunt (sort of). My mother-in-law owns a few birds, and I've been trying to help her sun conure hatch a baby, because the make keeps breaking them. So I'm here to learn everything I can!

I would be cautious about sealing an egg with nail polish, just because studies have shown that that gets into human's blood-streams etc and that it is toxic-- as are the fumes. Eggs are porous, like fingernails and if it can get through a nail, I'd not chance it on an egg.



Plus, if an adult bird is around, nail polish fumes and fragments of chipped nail polish (if ingested) can be harmful.
