I wanted to thank you for sharing this terrific tutorial on bird care. I watched this a year ago and ordered the dummy eggs.. A couple of my females were turning into chronic egg layers. At that time, the only avian vet in this town had moved and like you, I needed answers quickly. The dummy eggs stopped it. They are a wonderful way to keep the birds happy and healthy and without also adding more into the flock of feathered kids here. Thanks again, Blessings
Thank you for the video!! My Budgie had FIVE babies and I gave 2 away and it was difficult to do!! I did make sure they had a proper cage and food etc. Well, I kept the other 3 AND NOW I SAW ANOTHER EGG !!!! I SO UPSET!! I hope buying the dummy eggs really helps!!
Thank you for this video, I am going to get a parrot let and I was worried about the bird laying eggs because I wanted to get a female, cause I know at times parrotlets have fixed from laying to large eggs, thank you for this video. It has been super helpful🙏
just make sure your giving her calcium after she lays an egg , still get a fake egg or eggs . remeber they store they calcium for eggs once layed they lose it. so replenish with calcium make sure theres a calcium block , get some powder to sprinkle of food or get a liquid form for water.
Please, give more explanation about your first bird that you lost due to egg laying issue. What other behavioral or health issue the bird demonstrated? How to catch that situation on time, not when it is too late? Thank you,
Hi, I found her in the morning dead. The egg was still in her but very close to the exit...I guess she just couldn’t push it out..She did not show any sick behavior the day before. She was active and playful. How to catch that situation on time? It is a good question. If you see your bird is in labor (she will stay in one place and may make little sound while trying to push an egg out) just keep an eye on her. I am not a breeder but I would say If she tried for a few hours with no success-take her to a vet.
I saw on the utube where the man was bushing n massaging the bird stomach gently while helping to relieve the egg from binding in the bird. The bird must be in ur hand on its back so you can see the process very carefully. Its like being constipated and you need help! Omg.
Thank you for sharing I bought my lovebird from my daughter and Sunny is my first parrot so I am knew at this. I didn't know if sunny was a female or male until I seen she had a egg now she has three eggs and I don't have a male lovebird trying to get a male now. How long does a female lay eggs.sunny lays one like on Monday then I noticed Wednesday she had another one .
The place she mentioned for the eggs is a total ripoff, 7 plastic eggs for $25 +shipping! Just Google it for a more reasonable price. I went with Bird Supply of NH who sold me two packs of 5 eggs for $5.49 per pack of 5 eggs. The shipping was $4.81 so I ended up with 3 more eggs & saved %50.
@@petbirdsquad Yeah, it's strange how it's so hard to find them even now. I called 8 different pet stores locally that sold birds or were bird only businesses and not one had them. I am extremely greatful for your video, your advice helped me and Chicken Wing thru a very strange time! She was a rescue bird and the previous owner thought she was a male so I was pretty shocked when my male bird started laying eggs :) Her tail feather markings are coming in now so it's pretty obvious that she is female. I've turned my double car garage into an improvised Avery and she loves her freedom both in the garage and the house. Permanently trapping birds in a small cage is the same as a human in a jail cell, in my opinion.
I am glad you took her in! Yes, birds should be able to fly free and if we keep them as pets we should provide the space for them to fly and spend lots of time with them because they see us as their flock, their family! I was wrong so many times about the gender of my birds and I also had a male (I thought it was a male) laying an egg))))
Thank so much for posting this video. I have three females that have been mating with two males all in a very large cage. Should I put the fake eggs and nest in now? I’m not clear on the exact signs to look for before putting the fake eggs and nest in?
If you noticed that your birds mating a lot, or looking for a nesting place, or one already laid an egg-put all seven eggs in a nest in the cage. Get rid of a real egg.
PET BIRD SQUAD Thanks for replying. I have three males and three females. Two males were mating with the three females, and I found one egg a couple of weeks ago. They all seemed freaked out by the egg and it got broken. I just received the dummy eggs so I’ll put them in today. Thank you!
Are you saying if you lay fake eggs it will discourage her from laying any more eggs? My Cockatiel laid two n I discarded them to my regret and Im afraid she will lay more. This is my first encounter w a Cockatiel I adore them n their smart, funny, n imposed character. She was given to me by someone moving to another country I love her so much. I already have Love birds they all play well together. I dont know if she realizes her two eggs are gone? But I think she may be expecting more because she didnt leave her nesting location which she seeked out on top of my kitchen cabinet its unique n cozy! I tried to move her but she was not having it so be it lol. Although I have to get a ladder to ckeck on her. I didnt know she could lay eggs without having a mate? Im so glad I stumbled onto ur channel you were very informative.
Yes, female birds can lay eggs without males. First of all I would put something on her nesting location to prevent her from sitting there. When she loses a nesting place she might stop laying eggs all together. But she might search for another place! In this case I recommend using fake eggs. You can give her all seven and she will stop laying eggs and will sit on fake ones until she gets bored.
Hello mam.. My 11 month single cockatiel laid 5 eggs before 2months and now she is again laying eggs... How should i act to this situation? Is it normal??
hello! Me again, doing good with our lil friend. Thanks for the reply. couple more question for you., Norma (after Norma Bates>>>) ....she can be mean at differant times....hence getting ready to nest? got dummies eggs, Havent tried yet, soon im thinking. She sems ro be dropping her smaller feathers, thinking just pruning, she baths every other if not each day, seems very healthy. She has badically free rain of house, with discipinle rule( back to cage. So there a couple questions#info. Do you just catch ur bird to trim nails, we have a straching post her her, but think nails are too long? Thanks .
My 30 year old Senegal parrot just started laying eggs and it's really worrying me. I never even knew it was possible without a mate. She's laid 3 in the past 2 weeks. She is not at all concerned with the eggs. She just lets them fall to the bottom of the cage. She does not try to sit on them or nest with them. Do you think dummy eggs would work on a bird who doesn't seem concerned with the eggs she is laying?
Hi Natalia, I have a 17 year old Goffins Cockatoo and she just laid her first egg today. Her papers said she was a boy, so I am still in shock and searching for answers Quickly. Can I blow the Egg Out and give it to her before the others come ??
Thank you so much! My male cockatiel is v v territorial around a basket they have both been sitting in and chewing. How do I stop him from swooping on us and attacking? Do I get rid of the “nest”? They are both only 1 year old and I don’t want to breed them - their health and also since I work full time, live in a small flat & cant afford to breed them.
Hello, males are usually getting territorial around their nests. They are too small for making babies, they should be at least 1.5 y.o. Is the basket inside their cage? I would get rid of it. It might help but they might find another nest place to lay eggs. Sometimes they can do it on the bottom of the cage. If you find an egg-get the fake ones and give all of them to your birds (better to get 7eggs.) She will stop making eggs and your birds will sit on fake one till they get bored.
As per your advice I have placed dummy eggs and my female is nesting now. It is been four days. When will she stop nesting and when should I remove nest box and the eggs. Please guide
my sun conure just laid an egg and looks like she wants to lay another one. Should I buy the dummy eggs to give to her even though she is in the middle of this egg laying process. Also, what do you recommend for building back up their strength, calcium and vitamin levels again. Thanks for a great video.
Remove the egg and if she makes one more egg-remove it as well immediately. If she chose a corner of the bottom of the cage for nesting, try to make some changes to the environment. For instance, put a seed bowl or a toy there. Birds hate changes and it can distract her from laying eggs.If she continued laying eggs then you should buy dummy aggs and give her all set.
Hi i have just ordered and received the dummy eggs. Kindly guide me how to use them for my alexandrine parakeet. I have a virgin female parrot, she is 4 year old now and never laid an egg before but now she is showing the symptoms of egg laying. So kindly guide me how to prevent her from this by using these dummy eggs. I have also another alexandrine female parakeet and she is laying eggs since 3 years. Recently she has already laid 3 eggs and still showing the same behaviour for egg laying. So what can i do to stop her from further egg laying. Please note Both of my birds never mate with male parrot.
My pet bird is almost 7 y.o and recently she has been showing a lot of sexual maturity, she does the standard tiel mating call often and I'm getting worried. I don't know what to do, do you think giving her fake eggs will make her distracted or will it make her feel encouraged? I've been currently trying to trick her into thinking it's winter by covering her cage and turning off the lights, but it doesn't work that well because when I turn the lights back on she goes back to mating calls. Ты тоже русский?
I have 4 cockatiels 2parents and their babies, the mother keep laying 3 eggs every month,we want them to breed but the 3 eggs are never fertile. What should I do?
I got both white budgies from a family who had many birds together, I believed they were mother and daughter, both have tan on their nose area, I have a male with blue area across the room. My questions is will two females ( mom much older) act out breeding because she is old enough to breed ( only just started to have problem in last few months? None of the eggs hatch, I even candle them. But she continues to lay eggs, I have only saw them once look like they are mating. Is it possible mom isn't a female or is it just acting out because she is fussing because that's when I see it. I don't know if it's just having a male across the room that kinda encourages to want to breed. She is ALWAYS laying eggs, I have left them in and I have taken them out, no change, I'm afraid she will get egg binding, I would appreciate any help. They are not tame by the way. Thank you for your video!!
How do I get my pet birds to actually hatch the eggs she's been trying for half a year and she's laid over 20 eggs and hasn't been successful with any of them she has everything to make her comfortable but she still keeps giving us bad eggs and we kind of want to start a whole bunch of birds cuz we have this really big cage that we just made and we would love to fill it up any advice on how we could get her to hatch her eggs
So I have five parakeets and two are male and the other three are female, I really did not want them to mate but ever since last Friday I saw my male and female parakeet having intercourse and I tried to discourage it but now she’s laying eggs and I’m pretty sure their fertilized. After her babies hatch, I don’t know what I’m gonna do, because I don’t want them to keep mating. My bird is about seven months old which is too young to keep having babies. Do you think after her eggs hatch, I should put fake eggs so they stop trying to reproduce? Or should I separate them?
She is too young to have an adult life. They mature when they reach 1-1,5 year old. Her body did not develop yet for all of that.. I would separate the girl until she is at least 1year old (after they raise the babies). Just keep the cages close to each other so they will see and communicate with one another.
I have no idea what to do! My bird is laying eggs, this is the third one in the span of about 2 weeks, every time they hit the bottom of the cage. I don’t know what to do at all. Should I buy these fake eggs ?
I have a 9-month-old cockatiel who I am pretty sure is a female, she has made female mating noises before, there is no male bird for her to mate with. Should I put the fake eggs in her cage like you said even though she has never laid an egg before, and she has never made a nest but that could because I don't let her. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it this is my first time owning a cockatiel.
Hi, no, don’t give her fake eggs just yet. She might never lay eggs. I have female single birds who also make mating sounds but don’t lay any eggs. You can give her fake eggs if she starts laying eggs. Don’t worry about it for now. Just don’t pet her on her back and under her wings. It will provoke mating behavior.
Luv she doesn't need a mate to lay an egg she can do that on her on.....it is not necessary to put a fake egg in a nest when she never laid one. There are many resources on the utube or Google it just ask ur questions.
Hi I have a female cockatiel who is 1 and a few months ago started laying infertile eggs (she's alone but has another female friend in another cage) at the moment altogether has laid 11 eggs and right now sitting on 5 eggs she normally lays 3 and that's it then gets bored of them and just goes back to being normal. She went 4 weeks and 3 days without laying. I've had this problem before with a female and she ended up laying 47 eggs and passed away after a while (she may have been egg bound we don't know) is there anything I can do to stop this cockatiel from laying anymore eggs, I'm aware she's loosening calcium but I give her a little bit of boiled egg because she likes them. A male friend is out the question so I was wondering if there is anything else I can try to stop her laying
My caique has been laying eggs every few months (she’s alone), she just laid one today. It looks like there was a small piece of the egg missing? She seems ok just quiet, and didn’t really want to leave her cage like she usually does. I hope she’s fine. We add calcium to her food every day. And I usually give her carrot juice daily. I’ve read that leaving the eggs on the bottom wil make them forget about it, is this true?
If I were you I would get rid of the egg. Otherwise she might start sitting on it and make more eggs. About the missing piece-maybe the egg fell down and broke? Or maybe she eat the piece. They do it sometimes if they think that the egg is not good or if they are missing calcium. You you see her stop eating and sleeping too much-take her to a vet. Probably she is quiet and not very social because her hormones are increased. She will get back to normal soon. Just if you see her finding a nesting place (can be in a seed bowl or on the shelf or under the sofa, etc) If she spends too much time sitting in one place, you should restrict her access to the area-change the food bowl to a smaller one or put something in a place where she is nesting. It will discourage her from making eggs.
PET BIRD SQUAD thank you for your suggestion. We did wind up throwing it out. She seemed back to her normal self today. She woke up and ate everything in her food bowl so I made sure to replenish it with extra calcium
My bird keeps laying infertile eggs, so to influence her to stop, I tried putting her in her cage for the night with a cloth over, she was very unconfortable and when I opened the cage, she went straight to the nest. WHAT DO I DO?
You can get plastic eggs, and let her to sit on them as long as she wants. She will stop laying eggs and eventually get bored and leave her nest. It works! Every time you see your bird makes a nest- put plastic eggs there right away.
If it is only one egg every 3 months, just get rid of it and also don’t let her to build a nest. Sometimes birds are looking for places to make it into a nest and it can encourage the egg laying behaviors.
No, it is not healthy. The mother needs some time to rest and refill with essential minerals and vitamins. If she keeps making eggs over and over she will become weak and unhealthy and her babies also will be unhealthy. I suggest you to remove the nesting box.
If you bought her recently she might had a male and those eggs might be fertilized. If you bought her a while ago - the eggs are not fertilized - no babies inside. If the eggs are fertilized and you want to have baby birds you should get her a nesting box. If you don’t want more birds or the eggs not fertilized it is better to take it away. Otherwise she will make more. If she will keep making eggs one week after you took them away-you should get her plastic eggs.
I am getting conflicting information about what to do. My bird is eight years old and just this year she started laying one egg every 2 or 3 months. The owner of a local avian pet store suggested I just get rid of the egg and don’t use fake ones. Since then she is still laying one egg every couple months. This video says to use fake eggs. I’m not sure what to do.
Thanks for the reply. My bird lays eggs under our sofa. Whenever she goes under there, she looks like she’s trying to produce another egg. How do you stop her from going under there?
Try to put something under sofa that she does not like. Birds hate changes and if you see her going there put at least some shoe boxes (closed, not like anything she can nest in). She might decide that this is not a good place for egg laying anymore.
I have a single African love bird I hand raised her.. and now she is laying eggs without a male or without mating.. is there any problem in it? Should I leave the egg with her or should I take it out? Please help me
I think I explained everything in the video. If your bird lays one single egg ones or twice an year, I would not worry about it. It is normal. If she lays eggs constantly, it is bad for her health. I would take away her eggs and give her dummy eggs to sit on.
@@petbirdsquad thank you very much for replying.. right now I took that egg out and she seems to be sad.. I tired to pair her with a male but it didn't work well.. so I want to keep her alone.. I even she is happy staying alone with family
Yes, birds like people, sometimes they can fall in love with each other, sometimes birds can really hate each other. It is not easy to pair up birds. Some birds think that they are humans and want to be only around humans.
@@petbirdsquad I kept that egg again in her nest and she broke it😂😌 and thank you for taking time and replying.. it means alot to me.. please make more useful videos as such.. all the best
I’d like to ask you for your advice. I have a tiel that lays eggs all the time and sometimes she’ll lay one and I will remove and she’ll stop for awhile (more than two days) then makes another. She has no way to make a nest. during the day she isn’t around any nesting material and she is out of the cage. I put her in her sleeping cage total darkness with a blanket on top bc The light seeps through. She is in total darkness for a long time. I can’t seem to get her to stop laying at all. I have people telling me to take the eggs out, then have people telling to leave them in. I used to be able to discourage her from laying now I can’t. Her eggs are looking like she doesn’t get enough calcium but I give them to her. There isn’t a avian vet nearby to look at her if something happens.
Finally something that's not from WikiHow

After her babies hatch, I don’t know what I’m gonna do, because I don’t want them to keep mating. My bird is about seven months old which is too young to keep having babies. Do you think after her eggs hatch, I should put fake eggs so they stop trying to reproduce? Or should I separate them?
She is too young to have an adult life. They mature when they reach 1-1,5 year old. Her body did not develop yet for all of that.. I would separate the girl until she is at least 1year old (after they raise the babies). Just keep the cages close to each other so they will see and communicate with one another.
I have no idea what to do! My bird is laying eggs, this is the third one in the span of about 2 weeks, every time they hit the bottom of the cage. I don’t know what to do at all. Should I buy these fake eggs ?
Yes please do buy..otherwise there is calcium deficiency in your bird
I have got those fake eggs at amazon at a cheaper price.
You have gorgeous eyes!🥰
Simp
You can make eggs out of water, salt and flour
Interesting idea! Did you already make baked fake eggs for your bird? If yes, did your bird accept those eggs? He/she did not try to eat them?
@@petbirdsquad NO answer ??? I was wondering if they ate them also ???
I have a 9-month-old cockatiel who I am pretty sure is a female, she has made female mating noises before, there is no male bird for her to mate with. Should I put the fake eggs in her cage like you said even though she has never laid an egg before, and she has never made a nest but that could because I don't let her. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it this is my first time owning a cockatiel.
Hi, no, don’t give her fake eggs just yet. She might never lay eggs. I have female single birds who also make mating sounds but don’t lay any eggs. You can give her fake eggs if she starts laying eggs. Don’t worry about it for now. Just don’t pet her on her back and under her wings. It will provoke mating behavior.
@@petbirdsquad ok thank you soooo much, I was super worried on what to do
Luv she doesn't need a mate to lay an egg she can do that on her on.....it is not necessary to put a fake egg in a nest when she never laid one. There are many resources on the utube or Google it just ask ur questions.
Hi I have a female cockatiel who is 1 and a few months ago started laying infertile eggs (she's alone but has another female friend in another cage) at the moment altogether has laid 11 eggs and right now sitting on 5 eggs she normally lays 3 and that's it then gets bored of them and just goes back to being normal. She went 4 weeks and 3 days without laying. I've had this problem before with a female and she ended up laying 47 eggs and passed away after a while (she may have been egg bound we don't know) is there anything I can do to stop this cockatiel from laying anymore eggs, I'm aware she's loosening calcium but I give her a little bit of boiled egg because she likes them. A male friend is out the question so I was wondering if there is anything else I can try to stop her laying
I want to know what happens is your bird is not sitting on it's egg but very useful
Nothing will happen)
anyone notice the bird was like, WTF?! when she held up the egg??
Yeah u r right😂
my bird cocoktail gave 6 eggs but it is not hatching them. what to do??
After you form the eggs bake them in the oven at 350 degree for 20 minutes
My caique has been laying eggs every few months (she’s alone), she just laid one today. It looks like there was a small piece of the egg missing? She seems ok just quiet, and didn’t really want to leave her cage like she usually does. I hope she’s fine. We add calcium to her food every day. And I usually give her carrot juice daily. I’ve read that leaving the eggs on the bottom wil make them forget about it, is this true?
If I were you I would get rid of the egg. Otherwise she might start sitting on it and make more eggs. About the missing piece-maybe the egg fell down and broke? Or maybe she eat the piece. They do it sometimes if they think that the egg is not good or if they are missing calcium. You you see her stop eating and sleeping too much-take her to a vet. Probably she is quiet and not very social because her hormones are increased. She will get back to normal soon. Just if you see her finding a nesting place (can be in a seed bowl or on the shelf or under the sofa, etc) If she spends too much time sitting in one place, you should restrict her access to the area-change the food bowl to a smaller one or put something in a place where she is nesting. It will discourage her from making eggs.
PET BIRD SQUAD thank you for your suggestion. We did wind up throwing it out. She seemed back to her normal self today. She woke up and ate everything in her food bowl so I made sure to replenish it with extra calcium
I thought you would want to leave the egg in instead of removing?
My bird keeps laying infertile eggs, so to influence her to stop, I tried putting her in her cage for the night with a cloth over, she was very unconfortable and when I opened the cage, she went straight to the nest. WHAT DO I DO?
You can get plastic eggs, and let her to sit on them as long as she wants. She will stop laying eggs and eventually get bored and leave her nest. It works! Every time you see your bird makes a nest- put plastic eggs there right away.
Dalia Ali TaKe away the nest
My cockatoo lays 1 egg about every 3 months, just doesnt sit on the egg, she doesn't show agression. What to do, help if you can
If it is only one egg every 3 months, just get rid of it and also don’t let her to build a nest. Sometimes birds are looking for places to make it into a nest and it can encourage the egg laying behaviors.
My budgie babies are barely 2mths old but mother has eggs already. Is this healthy?
No, it is not healthy. The mother needs some time to rest and refill with essential minerals and vitamins. If she keeps making eggs over and over she will become weak and unhealthy and her babies also will be unhealthy. I suggest you to remove the nesting box.
@@petbirdsquad with 1 egg already in the nest do i remove the nest?
I bought a Nimfa parrot, and she carried 2 eggs, with not male parrot, how? end what i do? can make baby parrot from this eggs?
If you bought her recently she might had a male and those eggs might be fertilized. If you bought her a while ago - the eggs are not fertilized - no babies inside. If the eggs are fertilized and you want to have baby birds you should get her a nesting box. If you don’t want more birds or the eggs not fertilized it is better to take it away. Otherwise she will make more. If she will keep making eggs one week after you took them away-you should get her plastic eggs.
I am getting conflicting information about what to do. My bird is eight years old and just this year she started laying one egg every 2 or 3 months. The owner of a local avian pet store suggested I just get rid of the egg and don’t use fake ones. Since then she is still laying one egg every couple months. This video says to use fake eggs. I’m not sure what to do.
If she lays only one egg every couple of months, just throw it away. If she will lay more then one egg, use the dummies.
Thanks for the reply. My bird lays eggs under our sofa. Whenever she goes under there, she looks like she’s trying to produce another egg. How do you stop her from going under there?
Try to put something under sofa that she does not like. Birds hate changes and if you see her going there put at least some shoe boxes (closed, not like anything she can nest in). She might decide that this is not a good place for egg laying anymore.
How did my budgie have a egg by herself with no other bird around
Birds have a cycle like humans do. They can lay eggs by themselves, they just won’t be fertilized and hatch unless there’s another bird
I have a single African love bird I hand raised her.. and now she is laying eggs without a male or without mating.. is there any problem in it? Should I leave the egg with her or should I take it out? Please help me
I think I explained everything in the video. If your bird lays one single egg ones or twice an year, I would not worry about it. It is normal. If she lays eggs constantly, it is bad for her health. I would take away her eggs and give her dummy eggs to sit on.
@@petbirdsquad thank you very much for replying.. right now I took that egg out and she seems to be sad.. I tired to pair her with a male but it didn't work well.. so I want to keep her alone.. I even she is happy staying alone with family
Yes, birds like people, sometimes they can fall in love with each other, sometimes birds can really hate each other. It is not easy to pair up birds. Some birds think that they are humans and want to be only around humans.
@@petbirdsquad I kept that egg again in her nest and she broke it😂😌 and thank you for taking time and replying.. it means alot to me.. please make more useful videos as such.. all the best
Umm why would you wanna do that it could a egg could get stuck inside of them and die
My bird legit Laid 15 eggs the last two months
Who wants to Stop the bird to laying eggs
the bird right bihind you be like
what do you mean by that there is fake eggs here ? 0_0
Wow my lovebird has a egg but she doesn't have a partner.Her friend is a cockatail!!!
I’d like to ask you for your advice. I have a tiel that lays eggs all the time and sometimes she’ll lay one and I will remove and she’ll stop for awhile (more than two days) then makes another. She has no way to make a nest. during the day she isn’t around any nesting material and she is out of the cage. I put her in her sleeping cage total darkness with a blanket on top bc The light seeps through. She is in total darkness for a long time.
I can’t seem to get her to stop laying at all. I have people telling me to take the eggs out, then have people telling to leave them in. I used to be able to discourage her from laying now I can’t. Her eggs are looking like she doesn’t get enough calcium but I give them to her. There isn’t a avian vet nearby to look at her if something happens.
I will try to help you. Please send me a private message on my Instagram page- birds_and_i
monster wants to stop cockateil from laykng eggs
Why not just cook them?
a-oh...
Why male birds lay eggs Without a partner ?
Male birds can’t lay eggs 😊
It's probably a female bird... I think sometimes they do that when there's not partner but the eggs won't hatch
Let birds live , your bird came from a egg to
