We need help. Our Senegal, 19 years old, acquired at age 5 weeks, whom we had assumed was male, laid a first egg about 5 weeks ago. It fell to the floor of the cage and cracked. We perhaps mistakenly disposed of it. Since then the bird, who normally leaves her cage in the morning and doesn't return to it except to sleep, has spent most of the time in the cage, in a drooped rather than upright position, awkwardly curled around the perch. Sometimes during the night she has fallen off her perch (We've put a thick cushion on the floor to shorten and cushion the falls.) Her eating habits have been changed and not steady. Otherwise she seems in good health, flies well (when he does), has pretty normal droppings, etc. A vet--with some competence with birds--checked her over about 2 weeks ago, prescribed calcium supplements and cider vinegar in his water. She seems a little better some days but still not her constantly interactive self. Almost as if she's still suffering from the trauma of the egg-laying. What can we do to restore our
little girl, whom we love so dearly?
IS EGG BINDING AFTER 6 WEEKS POSSIBLE?
