Two female parakeets mated2007-11-24 17:16:27

my cousins have two parakeets

blue- white : Ivy

green- yellow: Carrie

apparently a couple of months ago, Carrie becomes Cory: the blue one laid eggs

they said that they took turns getting on top of each other, they both did the same stuff

and now Cory laid an egg too

so now they're all like... what just happened?

they said they're positive that it was Carrie because they were in seperate cages when this happened

any explanations to what happened?

who's the guy?

I apologize for the length of this response in advance!

LoL Believe it or not "homosexual" relationships among birds caged w/the same sex (kinda redundant) seems to be getting more common. Any female bird can and will occasionally lay eggs. My cockateil hens do so frequently. I have found that the best way to deal w/the infertile eggs is to all the hen to have it in her cage and maybe even sit on it for a few days. I have found that if I immediately remove the infertile egg(s) that my hens tend to keep laying.

Laying eggs seriously deprives the hen of much needed calcium, so you should add a supplement to their food to help them rebuild it. There are powders you can dust their food w/, you can boil and and and crush it up (shell and all) and offer it to them. You shouldn't leave the crushed egg in their cage more than a couple hours and they may not be interested, took my hens several offerings before they would even try it. There is also something called abba green which you can add to their food and is the best calcium supplemental source I have found.
