My bird laid an EGG! What to do?

[@henrydang1149]

Finally, someone made a video about the dangers about breeding birds! Thank you!!!

[@pokemon6249]

where did you buy you’re bird?

[@RealPuff]

This video helped out a lot, since I have a female cockatiel that recently laid an infertile egg. Thank you very much!

[@vulturedrawz]

My single female cockatiel layed an egg in her water dish today, my mum told me to put it outside for another bird to come eat it since it’s infertile (2 magpies came and ate it immediately) so I don’t have the egg anymore what now?

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Thats fine if you dont have any egg. As long as she us acting normal, eating, chirping, and you are working on calming hormonal behaviour ☺️

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Id like to add, you want to replace the egg with a dummy egg so they dont continue to lay more. Though some females never lay eggs, most lay their first egg around age of 5-6y If they lay an egg dont give them a nest, let them have a bowl like open nest to lay the egg and then switch it out

[@SilkySmoothLatte]

I don't really understand ? We just take the real egg and Switch it with one fake?

[@lubazeltov7802]

I just watch another video on that topic that said do not remove the egg right away, because it makes them lay another one. And also in comments you say replace with dummies to one person, and then do not replace just remove to another. It is confusing.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

I think its situational. Theres many things you can do and every bird will react differently :) some methods work and other method work btr than the other

My budgie laid an egg in the food bowl... What should i do....? Should i arrange the breeding box and put the egg in the box or i will remove the egg.......but only if it is sure that she will not lay egg anymore......plz help 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Budgies shouldnt have breeding boxes. They are migratory birds and only nest when they want babies which is why they are laying eggs ☺️ if they continue to have the box they will continue to be hormonally stimulated and lay eggs so the solution is to remove the box ☺️

[@possibletalent4590]

@@mimisbirdhousebut what about the egg in the food bowl and the budgie who is going to lay more eggs for the period of 21 days....? 😟.. 🙏... Also the female is too weak.... And one more Q plz - will she stop to lay eggs after this process.... 🙏

Thanks for your honest information.. my cokateil just suddenly die this past weekend 😢 I didn't know this... yes, it is my fault I was ignorant.... she came to my house one night I just didn't know anything about cokateil birds .. I regret not to look for information.. blessings

Hello there I really need some advice my lovebird pair ( not breeding birds ) laid fertilised eggs again 2 months after their first clutch I AM NOT INTERESTED in breeding them, how do I stop it? They do not have nesting box, have plenty of toys and out of cage time around 2 hours each day

[@mimisbirdhouse]

I would separate them if you see them getting hormonal, stop them if you see them mating

[@braydenhodgkinson5427]

I have 2 lutino cockatiels both female. How do I know which one laid the eggs there are 3 now? And both are acting like it's theirs. we have a feeling we know which one laid them but how do we know for sure so we can separate them

[@othman8324]

I need help with this , my bird layed an egg today without a mate , and should i leave it or take it off

[@ria1017]

Loved this vid as always. And I came up with a video suggestion. I was wondering about your take on birds being emotional support animals and just overall what your thoughts are on the matter. Mental health is important and some people love birds and consider them as a possible emotional support animal for them but what do you think about that? Have a great day! 🥰

[@mimisbirdhouse]

I could definitely make a video about this as it can be a 50/50 situation depending on what illness or disability you have. It could potentially make it better or worse. Ill look into it more and film for the following weeks ☺️ thank you for the suggestion!

[@Prime999]

Hi. I have a 1 year old female lutino cockatiel. She laid an unfertilized egg and i took it away. Should i get some dummy eggs to stop her from laying more? Also she keeps going to the spot where she laid her egg even though i took the egg away.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Yes I would recommend that ☺️

[@manjuvignesh6756]

My bird just laid an egg but idk what to do now. Can you please give me tips or tell me what to do with the egg? And I don’t really want many eggs so what can/should I do?

[@mimisbirdhouse]

All the tips are in the video :)

[@prettylucky675]

My female cockatiel without a mate laid an egg my family doesn't know what to do know We call the guy from whom we adopted her but he is saying if we do not get her a mate then she will keep on laying many unfertilized eggs like 11eggs without a mate and it will reduce her lifespan like from 14 years to 4 years We do not know what to do cuz the guy warned us now that she has started laying egg and even if we bring a mate for her to control egg laying she will be distant from us and not come out from her cage This is breaking my heart because I have nowhere read on the internet that you necessarily need to bring a mate to control egg laying process but the guy is saying it is necessary otherwise my bird's life span will dec

[@mimisbirdhouse]

That is not true at all!!! Breeders dont know anything but breeding so thats what he wants from you. Laying eggs is normal. But whats not normal is chronic egg laying. This occurs when they are stimulated hormonally. So dark spaces, petting them below the neck, letting them masturbate with toys. You want to remove all of these things, remove the eggs. Feed them some scrambled eggs (not cooked on teflon and no spices or salt) to help with the calcium they are loosing (once a week) they dont need a mate

[@sig.4971]

idk if youll see this but i need help, my bird unexpectedly layed an egg, i was told they were both males which too i was confused when i caught them mating multiple times, never had an egg, until now, idk what to do as i am a beginner and i havent touched the egg.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Without a dna test for gender its common to have the wrong gender about them, it happened to us with my third bird, turned out to be a girl :) So there are a few things here to know; are they both female? or is one a male and the other a female? i ask because its common for birds in captivity to mate with the same gender, if they are the same gender then the egg is infertile and you can remove it, as well try and minimize the mating so there isnt more hormonal stimulation for the bird to lay more infertile eggs and risk getting sick or egg bound. Make sure they have a strict bedtime where they sleep 12-14h, they have access to sunlight, can be offered baths regularly or even go into the shower with you and sit on the curtain rod and enjoy the warm steam. make sure they dont go into small spaces or nest like areas. If they are female and male then its possible the egg is fertile. Your choices can be to allow them to raise that egg, see if it hatches and help raise that baby, or…. You know if you dont…. The ummm unthinkable action

[@douqlz]

My bird laid two eggs in the morning and when I came back from school both of them were cracked open

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Oh no seems like they fell 😕

[@sherlyjones7636]

I have a male and female sun conures and they are really bonded to eachother so probably when they become matured they will get into the breeding process :)

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Glad I can help :) Be careful with breeding 😅

[@adrianalumbreras117]

Hi my cockatiel laid an egg today what should i take i away or leave it she doesnt have a mate

[@mimisbirdhouse]

If she has a nest or hut take that away and the egg its a hormonal stimulator. If she laid an egg in general id take it away

[@adrianalumbreras117]

How many eggs do they lay in a year

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Dependant. Mine never lay eggs. Others are chronic egg layers. It really depends

[@Sublimegameplays]

Hello I have a question I need some help with. Everywhere I see it says to remove the eggs but what if she might have one more egg in her? Should I wait till she lays her clutch of three and then remove them or remove them as they come out? I read somewhere a long time ago that if you remove the egg before the clutch is out They can become eggbound but I'm not sure if this is true. Please let me know! Thank you

[@mimisbirdhouse]

I will be honest i’m not too sure. What makes you believe there is another egg? Personally I would go removing them but if you have an avian vet you can consult with id double check with them :)

[@Sublimegameplays]

@@mimisbirdhouse okay thanks. My cockatiel usually lays in clutches of 3 eggs and her 2nd one popped out this morning. That's good advice I might see if I can ask a avian vet in the area to be sure. Thank you

[@Bloxycola_fox]

So I have a question not abt the danger or smth but I have 2 lovebirds but one day my birds were tearing up papers u though nothing but then they gathered them in a corner and I though they needed nest so I bought one now one of my bird went inside this morning I woke up

[@mimisbirdhouse]

You woke up toooo, and egg? Just to clarify haha 😅

[@jessycavera6323]

I was told you do not remove the egg/eggs until they show no interest in the eggs.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

If you dont remove the egg they will sit on it and usually will not want to eat or drink anything, if your bird reacts differently then proceed with caution and always consult a vet

[@neeli8423]

Thanks for the video ☺️☺️ provides so much clarity. I'm guessing you don't suggest replacing the actual eggs with the plastic eggs or whatever that the pet stores sell?

[@mimisbirdhouse]

No worries :) and no not at all, that still causes them to care for them and further stimulate to more potential issues :)

Hello, I have one female budgie. She is about 6 years old and laid her (to my knowledge) first egg, she usually sits on her perch. The egg just kind of fell to the bottom of the cage. I was able to remove it, however I am not sure what to do because this never happened to be before. Should I just remove the egg and forget?

[@mimisbirdhouse]

If it fell to the bottom of the cage and you see she wasnt protecting it or anything then you’re fine. Keep an eye out if she lays more or starts watching over them

[@possibletalent4590]

My budgies laid an egg in the food bowl...as you had replied that no breeding box is necessary....but what about the eggs which the budgie is gonna to lay ? Will it not affect the eggs... I wanna that the eggs budgie has laud and the eggs she is gonna to will lead to babies...but dont want any more eggs after this period...ehat should i do ? Or is there any way i can stop the budgie from laying any more eggs ? After she had laid one Plz reply...your reply worth very much...😢

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Wait sorry i need to clarify. You are trying to breed your budgies at the moment to have babies? Or you dont want more eggs period.

[@possibletalent4590]

@@mimisbirdhouse No...I don't want my budgies to breed also don't want eggs any more... But i want that the egg that is already laid by the female , do not ge t waste as it can be fertile ......... Thankyou for replying..plz cure my problem 🙏

[@mimisbirdhouse]

@@possibletalent4590 oh okay I see thank you for clarifying. So if you dont want them to breed take away the breeding box. If they lay an egg theres no guarantee its fertilized and since it dropped it may not have anything. Like I said budgies only build nests for the purpose of having babies, otherwise they sleep on tree branches. That is my recommendation. If you try and give the egg back, the budgie might reject it too since it dropped

[@user-pf2wo5db6s]

Hi. I have a male and female diamond dove which a friend could no longer look after. As you said about breeding, I really do not want eggs they have to hatch. It's winter time where I live and my hen has laid an egg yesterday. Do you have any advice on what to do perhaps? I'm really torn on what to do as I don't really understand what stage it is at. It generally takes 13 days for these to hatch. Would the egg have a feeling chick in it already at 2/3 days old or is it early enough that disposing of it would be painless as it is so undeveloped? Thank you for any advice 🙂

[@mimisbirdhouse]

There will be a chick developing for sure, sadly I think you’ll have to follow through and start learning to formula feed, its quite the experience as I raised my sun conure, next time if they are hormonal just make sure to keep an eye out and seperate them if they try mating

[@user-pf2wo5db6s]

@@mimisbirdhouse Thanks you much for replying. Okay this is so useful to know. Do you think that a day old egg would be any more than cells and have feeling already? Yep I was not ready at all for this but I can see lots of ways of preventing it in the future at least.

Not sure if you’ll respond to this but one of my cockatiels just layed an egg I’m just wondering what I should do? She isn’t that protective over her egg and I’m wondering if she still has more to lay and what I should do with the egg Great video btw :D

I would remove it if she isnt territorial over it. If she doesnt have a partner then the egg is not fertilized. You can do what you want with it :)
