Having an egg!!!!


froso

Recommended Posts

Hi, everybody!!!!:( :( :( :(

 

I have a pair of two african greys. Rory and Malakouli. Probably they are female and male and today Rorys had laid an egg.

 

I am realy excited but frightened too as i do not know what to do.

 

I wonder if she will have another one as the first one is allready broken?

Is this condition dangerous concerning my bird?

 

If she will make more fertile eggs what i have to do with them,i have to remove them or not?

 

What i have yo do with the male,

let him in the same cage or remove him?

 

Pleace reply me the soonest if possible.

 

Thanks a lot.

Probably a male and female??? You're not sure? Hens can be together and lay eggs with no male around. You don't have any type of nesting and box in the cage and it's too late to put one in. Dump the broken egg. Leave the bird that laid the egg in the same cage. Remove the other bird to another cage.

Expect the bird to lay a couple of more eggs. Let her sit on or stay by the eggs for approx 30 days or until she shows absolutely no interest in them. Then remove them. You should think about keeping those birds apart permanently especially if they're male and female. Birds don't need to be in the same cage in order to be friends.

Thank you dear Dave very much for your advice.

Till the egg apear i was not sure about the sex of my birds,however now iam sure that Rorys is the female and males is Malakoulis.When the egg apeard i was in panic not knowing what to do i search in the web and i found all of you,thanks God you where really helpful.

As i told before the first egg was broken as there was not a nest on the gage to keep it safe.Unfortunatelly with the second egg,4 days later hapened excactly the same.

 

After that i manage to come in contact with my animaldoctor and she helped my enough.

Yesterday i fixed with a friend of mine a beautiful nest realy atractive from my Rory (Femalle),i lied on it a couple of hens egg (the smallest i found)and since then Rorys is over the eggs taking care of them.

 

On the other hand Malakoulis is always on the top of the cage,i do not think he intent to do any hurm to the female or the eggs.I opposite believe that he takes care of the female and tries to protect her Whenever we (People) enter the room and come close to the cage.

 

Probably from my calculation on Sunday night we are going to have one more egg,i am sure this time nothing is going to happened to it as it is really protected in that nest.I am also convinced that the egg will be fertile and soon we are going to have a baby.

 

If anybody knows how long it takes?

I would like to know so as to count the dates in order to be alert.

 

Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!!
