My 3 year old parakeet has peculiar egg laying behavior. She laid two eggs, and abandoned them about two weeks ago.
Now she has laid one more two days ago, and another today. She and my male budgie definitely mated.
I have made a nesting box, but she has chosen a cart with plastic drawers that sits next to the cage. She laid one egg in one drawer that contained toiletries, and another in a different drawer that has bird supplies (extra food and water dishes, etc.).
Sheās also interested in another couple of drawers- one that she laid an egg in previously that I put nesting material in yesterday, and another with fish supplies.
What in the world is she doing and what should I do? I already touched one egg, as I had to make sure there was nothing dangerous for her in the cart. There is a yolk inside.
I have not touched todayās egg. She is constantly going in and out of the drawers, but not sitting on the eggs yet.
Should I put them together? On paper towels, for example?
