cmoscufo Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 we have 8 birds,two are african greys,they are 10 years old, today when we went out to get them and bring them in,they had an egg in an old wooden box up on the wall,we aren't really sure what to do about this.Will they have more eggs,will we have to take the egg, do they know what they are doing,should we leave them alone,do we need to separate them from the others,why has this not happened before? Any and all advice would be appreciated. thanks Christy:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Welcome cmoscufo! 10 yrs of age is a typical time for female greys to begin laying eggs. They generally are sexually mature (able to reproduce) at 4-5 years old but the drive to produce eggs etc really jumps up at 8-10 years. Read this post regarding egg laying in general...chances are things will be fine and there is not much you should do besides ensuring the females have a good balanced diet. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/52133-my-african-grey-just-laid-an-egg.html#52337<br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2008/01/17 03:37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
