My birds laid eggs!
- Thread starter Nebulous
- Start date
Well I figure I have 2 female birds. The eggs were never fertilized which is why they never hatched. I cracked a couple open to see if there was a bird forming in there or not. It just looked like a egg you'd buy from the store & eat.. with a yoke and egg white..
So I threw them all out.
I figure there were so many eggs because they were both laying them & with no male around to fertialze the eggs, there is no point in having a nesting box and all that. I'm glad I took it out because the box took up the entire bottom of the cage and all the bird crap was accumulating on top of the box & starting to stink. Now the crap can fall into its normal place (the newspapers on the bottom of the cage) and I can keep their cage clean again.

Sounds like they both have chronic reproductive syndrome. If there are mirrors in the cage, you may want to remove them. Believe it or not the birds think the bird they see in the mirror is their mate. You can read more about this when you check out the site I have provided.
