About 1 week ago I noticed my Lovebirds had 4 eggs.
But they may have been in there for about 2 weeks! I hadn’t checked the nest box at all, because I thought that the male was the female and the female was the male. I opened the nest box up one day to find the bird I THOUGHT was the male, sitting on the eggs!
So I really don’t know how long they were in there. I had noticed I hadn’t seen much of the bird I thought was the male for a while and thought he was just hiding in the nest box playing games.
Mum then rang 2 pet shops and both say DO NOT touch the eggs because the mother and father won’t recognize the smell and may abandon or kill the eggs. But I have read that you SHOULD check if they are fertile…
What do I do?
Thanks in advance, Tessa xx
WaitingToExist- Lol. Well, I hope your right, but that brings another serious question…
I’m actually scared to touch them, as I’m scared I’ll break them or distress the birds! 
Jay- Lol yeah. I know the pet shops are only into money. Actually, funny story… They offered that when the eggs hatch, I could sell them back to the pet shop, and I was like, errrm no thanks! Most of the pet shop birds die.
ATTENTION:
I CHECKED ONE OF THE EGGS.
I NOTICED THE FATTEST END OF THE EGG WAS WHITE WHEN NEAR A LIGHT, AND THE REST WAS DARKER… WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? SHOULD I CHECK FOR SOMETHING ELSE?
Okay…
I have established wether all 4 are fertile or not…
*drum roll*
*louder drum roll*
*LOUDER drum roll*
FERTILE! And looks like they have been there a while and a soon to hatch!
Thanks everyone!
