We just recently purchased a female african grey, she is 13 years old and very healthy. She came to us saying several things and continued to after she arrived at our home. One week ago she laid an egg (she is not around ANY other birds) then another three days later and another four days after that. She still makes noises when she knows we are around however she has stopped talkikng like she did. She acts normal when she is not laying however she has cut down on her talking. Is she likely to pick back up? We have had her almost one month and she has not picked up anything new at our house? This is our first grey and not to sure on time lines of her learning new things.

Ok so we built her a perch that we can move around the house so she can be with us. My next question is four days later she had another egg. How long will she continue to have these? If she is down on the floor she actslike she is trying to have another egg, Is this because she thinks anything soft of the floor is nesting material? So she needs to just not get on the floor because it will always stimulate her or will this pass with time like a mating season? There are no other birds at our house to stimulate her. We put a box in her cage for her to have another in if she needed to but she doesnt get in it, so if she has another which she looks like she is trying to do now, do we just lay it in the bottom of the cage?....well she did just have another on the floor. Ok no more floor time for her I guess, I just dont understand why she is having them days apart??

Thank you so much, I woked for a vet for six years but they do not do birds. They told me to feel free to come take a picutre of her to see if there are any left but I figured as long as she is eating and interacting with us a little she is ok and I wont add that stress. She stilll puts her beak on the floor and concentrates like she is about to start pushing but she snaps out of it and begins walking around again. She ALWAYS goes in the bathroom with us and hangs out and scratches the rugs while we shower. She will sit on the rugs now but has not scrtched once since she had the egg. How long do I need to wait before taking a picture to see if she has anymore? what is they likely hood she can get egg bound and what are some of the signs?

About one month ago we bought a 13 year old female grey, she came from some very good owners with one other female grey. last night she started acting like she was in pain and trying to pass someting, within about three minutes she had laid an egg. She never did this at the previous owners house, the egg busted on the floor so we threw it away. this morning she is listless and not wanting to play or get out just sitting fluffed up a little on her sleeping perch. Is this normal? is she sad, feelling sore? HELP PLEASE

We Just bought an grey about one month ago, she is 13 and came from a family with one other female grey. Last night within about 30 seconds she went from normal to looking and acting like she was in extreem pain and needing to pass something. Then about three minutes later she passed an egg on my BFs shoulder. It smashed on the floor so we threw it away, I called the previous owners and she had never laid one at their house before. This morning she is kind of listless, just sitting fluffed on her sleeping perch, leaning to avoid us and not get on our hand to get out. Is this normal? Is she sore, missing the egg? Im very worried she may be getting sick??? she did eat and drink after she laid the egg but didnt throw her toys around like she does every night.
