I have 2 budgies Percy (female) and Beckett (male). After living together for over 1.5 years, Percy suddenly started laying eggs. Even after moving them into separate cages she laid 12 eggs over about 2 months and ended up at the emergency vet egg bound. They now live in separate rooms. Percy...

I have a lutino hen and a sky blue male. They’re not mates, I’ve just always wondered what their offspring would look like. My lutino hen, Okli, mated with my normal green/yellow male Carlos. Me, being a newbie to mutations, was expecting yellow and green pied babies. Boy was I off. (Note; The...

Hi! I am new to the site and have never posted on forum but am in need of an answer and hope to find it here. I have a budgie, sun conure and double yellowhead. My budgie has mated with the sun conure about 8x this morning. Is there any chance they were successful and will they (or can...

Hello! My beloved pets of a few years (Brazil and Zealand) have decided to pop out some eggs a second year in a row! Last year, all of their chicks died. This year, I am determined to ensure their health. As I was changing out the birds' bedding, they both came out of the nest box. Because of...

I have been trying to get my CAG pairs to breed successfully for the past 6 years. I have done my homework on how to acquire birds, set up cages, diet, environment(privacy) etc.. and set them up. I have followed the initial how to's from Mrs. Jean Pattison's blogs especially to get the pairs...

Hello all, We are the caretakers of a 19 year old female Eclectus named Pebbles. Her mate Rocky, sadly passed away unexpectedly several months ago. It was a heart wrenching discovery that we still haven't recovered from, nor understand. They were bonded to each other and would breed each year...

Hello everyone, well this is my first post here on Parrot-Forums and I have a question(s) about pairing and/or separating already bonded lovebird pairs. In my case I was recently given the opportunity to care for two lovebirds of different species (a black-mask and a peach-face) after their...

I'm new here and joined hoping to get some help with an unexpected problem with my blue and gold macaws. A bit of history, I inherited these birds from an abuse situation. They have been living in a cage about two and a half feet square and 4 feet tall this winter as they recovered from a...

So I have three budgies and I want to breed the two. There are two males and a female. One of the males is already bonded and preening and feeding each other. The nesting box has been in there for about two and a half months and there is no sign of the female ever going inside of it. There is...

I was wondering if I could keep a male and female budgie in the same cage without breeding. I've been looking for a cage mate for my little Caso and I completely fell in love with a little male in my facebook group that's up for sale. He looks to be a rainbow with a bright blue belly, yellow...

Our sweet macaw is prone to egg binding. It has already happened twice. Both times the egg got removed. My question is there anything one can do to help avoid this? Should I put her in the sunlight or leave her covered? I am confused because I am hearing mixed things. Some people say to leave...

Hi everyone. I have found a person looking to rehome their cockatiels. They are adorable pair of male and female. However the owner says they haven't had time to tame them so they never leave their cage. My main concerns are: Would having a pair of untamed birds make taming them difficult? As...

Hi, So I have a pair of eclectus 12 years old. I bought them last year, and the previous owner told me that he successful had chicks from the pair. For the last year breeding these pair was a total disaster. The female produced clear eggs, although I did see mutual feeding from the female...

I've had my two gcc's for around two years now. One is definitely female as she has laid and egg and the sex of the other is unknown. However, both eggs were infertile(I torched them to check). I got them together from someone who could no longer take care of them and they have stayed in the...
