dpjacques Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 i'm a new member to the grey forum...i have an african grey (bingo) who is 11 years old...i've had him since his birth on 5/5/89...heretofore i had been told, and assumed, that 'he' was male when, lo and behold, yesterday...'she' laid an egg. my questions are: is this unusual? how often should i now expect a similar occurrence? should i worry?

Dave007 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 If you're absolutely positive that he is truly a he, then you have nothing to worry about. If he is really a she, then you'll need to watch her closely and see if she lays more eggs. No matter what, remove any areas that may be nesting areas in the cage. Someone else on this board had a similar problem but the bird was a she and the problem is now over. Watch and see if your bird pays lots of attention to it such as sitting and covering the egg with it's body. A female will do that more than a male will.
