Sometimes an Animal can be a better parent than a human being... Sad but true...

[lightThatcherry]

@AlcohollifuckincA not sometimes...most of the times :)

[HasiundMausi100]

this is just too cute :)

[TheGwynnSmith]

I have heard that if they lay eggs it can become a danger for them because calcium issues and what not. Is this true?

[alali401]

@TheGwynnSmith i searched and shit, and most of them said it is life threatening but you just gotta feed her like calcium food and such, oh and if the parrot had no male and it just laid an egg then the egg aint fertelized, meaning it wont hatch.

[TheGwynnSmith]

@alali401 Yes I know they aren't fertilized without a male, and that part of the issue. If their eggs don't produce a baby then their body dosen't tell them to stop laying. I have read this, don't know how much is true. But I have also heard not to pet them down their backs, or feed them food from your mouth because thats what their mates do and it can bring on the egg laying and such :/

[alali401]

@TheGwynnSmith hmm, well i heard that you can cover them and not put so much light, smthn like that so it'll confuse them and make them think that it aint the breeding season, its kinda funny, but not sure if its actually true as i have never tried it.

[kuwait126]

i think its a male

[MrBeerz100]

[ThePelicanpub]

[navinajoy]

[danita4]

@navinajoy join Avian Avenue Message Board there are many people there that answer questions and help with birds

[jjjme84]

She is absolutely beautiful - and for her to lay eggs for you shows she must be one happy little bird :)

[ifuseekamy]

I can't even have exercise balloons or balls in the same room w/my Grey, otherwise she'll get on the bottom of her cage for days and act weird. My sister put some plastic balls in her cage and she actually thought they were her eggs and we had to take them out.

[sixtysevenyears]

so cute!!

i have a parrot exactly like that

her name is sena <3

[al6c]

طائر رائع والاروع انتي

اتمنى انى ارى بيتك كله طيور

[mabdewn]

She's gorgeous. Beautiful colours and feathers. No plans of getting her a boy?

[danita4]

No boy, no way. I wouldn't have the heart to sell the babies :( I would end up with 30 African Greys!!!

[ML00zaM]

oh no oh no, SUPERCUTE !!

[loungo1567]

can you take her out of her cage or do you have to wait until the eggs are hatched

[danita4]

They were not fertile, no boy bird

:)

So they didn't hatch

[loungo1567]

oh that stinks

[sanjouindacapo]

Are the eggs fertile? I had a cockatiel that laid infertile eggs, and I heard it's common for cockatiel hens to do that. Do other parrots usually lay eggs without mates?

[daboulrich215]

i ment her

[daboulrich215]

ther very smart god bless here
