Hi, I am new to the forum come looking for help. I have a pair of maxi pionus set up for breeding. The male has always been mean too me trying to bite every chance he gets. The thing is when the hen come out of the nest box to eat or whatever the male attacked her and run her back into the nest box. I was able to divert his attention. It wasn't 2 minutes later he went into the nest box and attacked her again. I had to go into back entry and literally pull him out. As I was pulling him out the hen went into the caged area exhausted. I put the male in a seperate cage and then checked on the hen. she was bleeding from one of her nostrils. I did a visual the best I could didn't see any bleeding but I did notice how thin she was which I took she hadn't been eating so I just kept an eye on her through the night. The thing is she was sitting on 3 eggs. About 4 in the mornin she went back to her eggs. How can I feed her without disrupting her. She is on Zupreem Natural. I thought maybe if I soaked some pellets in water and put in the nest box that she could eat. But I am worried I will upset her and her leave her eggs so I set it by her feed dish. I don't have an iincubator. And noone else setting eggs. Should I just sit back and watch her? She is in the sunroom and
i can see her thru a window.
