I have an 11 year old cockatiel who I adopted two years ago. The adoption place said that my bird's previous owner never mentioned her laying eggs at any point, so they assumed she hadn't. Throughout the two years I've had her, she has never laid eggs. I recently went on vacation and I boarded her for the time while I was away. Since she's been home, I've noticed her crouching on her perch and making a repetitive chirping noises while sort of bouncing around. She used to do this in her water bowl and she's done it before on the same perch, but not for a long time. Just now, she crawled to the bottom of her cage and started nibbling the papers there. She also backed herself into a corner with her tail feathers raised against the cage wall. When I moved the papers around to cover the poop that was there, she acted quite aggressive to my hand and the paper (which is normal), but didn't move off of the cage floor. She moved off of the cage floor by herself and is now sitting on the back of my chair as I type this.
She's been particularly loud the past few days and her poop was quite runny/liquidy before yesterday, but it appears normal now. Are the things she's doing the result of her being boarded and adjusting to being at home again or is she going to lay eggs? Or both? Thanks
