ok, my bird is almost 5 months old, and shes laying eggs, and i dont know if they are fertile because she is in a cage with her dad and her.. other sibling. well i put them in a bowl with some nesting materials because i dont have anything else to put them in. in another cage i have a (lutino) hen and a cock in a nesting box and then one chick out of the 6 eggs that hatched. (the other 5 were duds). so im wondering if i should take the eggs from the one cage and put it with the lutino hen and her chick. the lution’s chick is about 18 days old, and the the first egg was lain 16 days ago.
and i have another question. in this third cage i have a hen that is on her second set of eggs this year. i didnt think that she would lay anymore (thats why i put the lutino and the male in the box) because she wasn’t in the cage with her mate, but i did see her doing it with this other male one time (which i didnt think would happen….) right now i have them in the best thing i could find that is close to a nesting box. shes in a popcorn box that has the top opened, and its on its side, on the bottom of the cage, but its really short and she cant really stand up on it. so would it be better just to put a bowl in there wit nesting things or no nesting things?
oh, thats alot. please help me.
the one that was 5 months old ate her egg. SHE ATE IT. or something. it was all gone and there were little white flecks on the bottom of the thing…
so observed very carefully to see which 2 are the parents. i noticed that 2 of the birds kept protecting the egg and fighting off all the other birds. so i got another cage ,got another nesting box and put the parents in the cage by them selves. did i do wrong? only reason i felt the need to do this is because not to long ago they laid 5 eggs and all of a sudden they disapeard.is this normal? my birds hve a huge cage outdoors no rats or annything can get in.my biggest concern is now that ive separated them they wont go in the nesting cage to sit on the egg.what do i do?i dont want the egg to die
the tx. st. aquarium wont return my calls. i dont know what kind of bird this is. out of three baby birds, two have already died! i just wish i knew what to do. i’m giving her formula and letting her suck the water droplets from a sterile toothbrush ( i read thsi tip online) but what else should i do? she chirps, she bobs her head when she eats. her crop gets full and i dont feed her the special bird formula (for all birds it says) until it’s empty. but she chirps loudly when she wants to eat. but i have no idea when to introduce seeds, or how to keep her alive! please help!

i currently got a male lovebird, in the process of getting a female. but i already setup a nesting box. but it seems like the love bird does not like the box or something its been like a week and from the looks of it he has never step foot inside, is this normal or like do they only go inside to lay eggs? i thought they would at least go inside to sleep like regular birds. again currently i just got 1 male lovebird.
The main point of me getting the nest was for egg laying hopefully when i get more.
Would it eat it? Or no? It wont stop crying, and its mouth is always open, meaning that it is hungry. I understand that, but when i feed it bird food it eats it at first and then when i feed it again it closes its mouth and then it whines some more??!! What should i do??
IT IS A NEWBORN BABY BIRD, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW
I want them to breed and the female is ready. But she is not going in to lay her eggs because of the male indian ringneck has not been in there to check it out.
how can i get the male to go in there?
He is only 1 and he may not be ready. But people say that some male indian ringnecks breed at age one. My female is 2 years too.
please help
