Hi everyone!
Her name is Zeytin (Olive). Back in 2019, this was happening often, and this forum helped me figure out how to stop the behavior, but it's happened again!
It seems like Zeytin is getting enough sleep.... and this was the issue before. But all she wants to do is stay at the bottom of her cage. When we let her out, all she does is go find paper and go back. She doesn't want to play or be pet anymore.
I know we should remove all paper, and we try, but she'll find anything - like paper towels! And we know not to pet her in certain ways.
There is a male lovebird in the house, but he's in a different cage, and we already know they aren't mates - we originally bought him when she started laying these eggs in 2019, without enough research unfortunately, and now we know they aren't a pair. So, I don't think he is the baby daddy.
My question is: Any other advice for getting this to stop? I know it's not healthy for her. How long should we wait to remove the egg from her cage?
Thanks!
Melanie
