the baby in the previous video is now 2 years old! Her name is Screech. I found out I have two females. Screech 2, and Spike 3. Of course I was shocked when in the Spring this year (2011) I found an egg! then two, then 5!
Unfertilized eggs should be left in the cage with the bird for 28 days, to prevent re-laying and egg binding--dangerous for the bird. Be sure to give the bird extra food and water near where she is sitting--she did not leave the eggs' side!
Screech turned into a beautiful big girl. They are always aggressive with their eggs. LOL. Be careful giving spinach when your female is laying eggs...spinach is a calcium blocker and won't allow her body to replenish her calcium pools.
