My nephew has a conure that we always thought was a he for some reason. But he's now laid an egg for the first time at the age of 18. My nephew's going to take him to the vet to make sure he's OK, but the vet's closed til Monday due to wintry conditions.
So my question is, how serious a problem can this be for an older bird? (Sorry I don't know the exact species). And for my own curiosity, what would cause a bird to suddenly lay an egg at that age?

I've been telling myself for over 7 years now that I need to get him DNA sexed!
