What to do with my parakeets egg
ok here is the deal. i had my bird for a lil over a year feb.07 made a year i thought it was a boy because the vet said boys are dark colored and girls are light colored ...well thats not the case my bird is blue, black ,yellow, and gray ...(boy colors) so i thought .. i just found out its a girl she layed two eggs one on sat, and one on sun. the problem is she hasnt done anything with a male she stays in the house and shes the only bird...i read that parakeets can lay eggs without nothing in them and i was told to thrown the eggs away because she wasnt naturing them or anything it was like she aint want em.... i'm thinking cause nothing was in the egg... what should i have done ? NEED HELP PLEASE :)
Answers:The fact that your bird wants to lay eggs is a good sign, it means that she is healthy, birds that are not cared for or are stressed out will not go into breeding mode, so that's good for starters. She won't begin to set on them regularly until she has laid a full clutch which could be 4-7 eggs, so she isn't really neglecting them yet.
Parakeets though, are not like chickens, and laying eggs is hard work for them, so it is best to discourage her from laying any more than she has to. If you remove the eggs, she will probably just lay more, which will be bad for her. The best thing to do is to replace the eggs with wooden eggs or white marbles of the same size. She will sit on them for a long time before she figures out that they are not going to hatch, but it will give her a break between clutches. You could get her a mate, and raise babies, it's kind of fun. In any case, provide extra calcium for her in the form of crushed egg shell (sterilized), oyster shell, or cuttle bone, to prevent her from running low on calcium, which they will rob from their own bones, if they become deficient.
