My 19 year old grey, Sterling, was acting weird last weekend. She seemed to be huddling in the corner of her cage on Sunday. Tuesday, my mom sent me a picture showing TWO eggs in the bottom of Sterling's cage. I quickly searched on the internet and found conflicting information but it seemed like leaving Sterling and her eggs alone. Today (Saturday), we came back from doing errands and we found a THIRD egg!!
We need some advice!
Here's more information: Sterling LOVES me, tolerates my mother, drew blood from my dad's hand a few years ago, and is always interested in family and friends that come over, including the occasional retired racing Greyhound foster that is curious about her. She sits near the edge of the cage where the Greyhound's noses can just reach and will stick her foot out and grab the end of the dog's nose. The dog(s) freak out of course and then totally leave Sterling alone! Its pretty funny.
-We give her magazines and newspaper to rip up when we are not around and she loves to make a giant mess of it all, that is, after we clean her cage of course!
-In the past few weeks, my mom (who is home the most) noticed Sterling on the bottom of her cage ripping up newspaper and magazines into a pile in the corner but never really thought about it since we thought Sterling was a he. We never had hi...HER tested but we thought that Sterling may be a female because her eyes were lightly colored when she was young.
-We also made the connection: we have a male Canary that sings a lot! They are both within eyesight of each other in the big downstairs room. We used to have an albino Cockatiel in the same big room about a year ago and she laid a few eggs. Maybe its the Canary?
We need help! We don't want to anything weird to happen to our beloved Grey!!!
