I tried moving her to her larger cage but wants to go back to her sleep cage & the egg. I bring her sleep cage out for the day so that she is with the rest of the family. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I've let her sit on the two. She's healthy (eats, drinks, poop is normal) but has been on those eggs for nearly three months. Anything that can be done to get her to realize they're never going to hatch? Is this normal?

The switch from seeds to a healthier balance of pellets, fresh greens and vegetables (and street lights) led to my macaw being healthy enough to have a cycle. She's now laid three eggs this summer. Every time she starts to act hormonal, I think it would be easier if she went back to seeds, as she is very aggressive to anyone else entering the room. I take her out to put on her play stand but after a short while she is very anxious to return to her cage and egg.

Egg laying is a normal, natural behavior for a female bird. <br /><br />My umbrella cockatoo hen laid her first egg when she was 10 yrs old. I am not sure who was more surprised - her or me!. She played around with it for a bit, then just ignored it. She has laid a few more times but never seems to show much interest. <br /><br />I just wait until she ignores it, then remove it. No worries.oceanmockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061757465418915251noreply@blogger.com
