I have a male and female green that are EXTREMELY bonded.
FOR FEAR OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE EGG SITUATION, I SEPARATED THEM INITIALLY WHEN I FIRST GOT THEM A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, (apologies I don’t know why that’s in caps, but I’m too lazy to fix it) and the male became so stressed, he plucked his feathers from his chest. I felt awful for him and returned them to the same cage together. They sleep together, they eat and forage together.. it’s clear that they have a better life being together.
Anyway, they just turned two years old and have been meeting like five times a day the last two weeks.
I guess this means I should get a lay box for her? The problem is this, I cohabitate with these two green cheeks and quaker parrot. I cannot take on another parrot OR parrots if they have eggs, and they are to hatch..
This makes me feel incredibly guilty, because I don’t know what to do.
I’m very bonded to my birds myself, and they are my whole life. (Maybe TMI but I’ve been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. I’m recently, unemployed, and have separated myself from a 15 year relationship, and went through a series of deaths of loved ones). My birds give me such comfort right now. When I say my birds mean everything to me lol I mean it.
If they have an egg, it’s like.. that some thing that they created together. In nature, this would be so natural, and no human would have to tamper with it.
I just want to go about disposing the eggs in the most humane way but I don’t know how.
May I have some direction here please? Anything is appreciated.
