Egg laying.

[carolz7]

Anyone else going threw the egg laying with there birds.

I have a 19 year old that just completed laying 5 eggs.

Looks like she is finally down. No more sitting at the bottom of the cage.

I was told to leave the eggs until she lost interest in them.

I wonder if it would be safe now or if i should wait.

I sure dont want to trigger this hole cycle again.

I would wait until the weekend just to be sure.

Thanks. I hope this wont be every year. I thought she was sick at first. Then while trying to figure out what is going on here comes egg number 1.

It's not a common occurrence with greys but if it does happen, the grey will more than likely be an adult bird who's approx. passed her 15th to 22th birthday.

General procedure is---The eggs need to be left with the female for a full incubation cycle which is 31 to 33 days. No extra nesting material should be put in. Eggs shouldn't be disturbed. Extra attention shouldn't be given because the female may bite.The female will stat ignoring the eggs as she nears the end of her cycle. Only then should the eggs be removed one by one, 1 every other day until they're gone. Remove any nesting material or what could possibly look like nesting material away from the cage, inside and out.
