Well, i've heard of this before, but it comes as a surprise nonetheless.... my little birdie layed an egg. :eek:

It has to be an empty shell though, since it's been alone in it's cage ever since i bought it. But what am i supposed to do now ? I assume i can't clean out the cage for a while, since it's mother's instincts took over and it attacks everything that comes anywhere near the cage ?

Anyone have any experience with something like this ?

Eef, don't have any idea what you should do, johhny but um..err.. congratulations, grandpa?! LOL

sneak up on the cage some morning and make yourself some scrambeled eggs!

...or eggshells, if its empty [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That would cost me a finger, the bird is on DEFCON 4 or something, it will take master thievingskills to go anywhere near the cage unnoticed.

Besides, it's not a friggin Ostridge, it's a lovebird. Not much nutrition from such a tiny egg. :D

Prolly infertile, like a chicken's egg when the rooster is falling down on the job. Can't you sedate the bird? Where's Epona when you need her? :D

But will it depress the bird if i take away the egg ? I mean i clean out the cage every other week, they crap a lot you know. :D

My grandparents had a cockatiel that lived by itself, and it laid about one egg a year...generally, they'd wait for it to to calm down a bit before removing the egg...I don't know about the cleaning bit, though...

Well, a potion of Master Thievery or two should do the job. I think I've seen one on eBay.

I suggest you put a cat near the cage and watch the laughs :D

Don't you mean have a laugh? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The eggs are probably infertile johnny. You'll probably need a male bird to fertilize the eggs if you want them to hatch I think.
