Can you tell me about birds who are expecting chicks?
|
| |
When female birds are ready
for breeding, you can tell by changes in their behavior. Small
parrots can become aggressive. Some females want to go and sit
in places other than their usual spots. You may find them in a
drawer, or on a shelf. This is nest-building behavior.
Cockatiels are bred to breed, and can go on and
on. This can get them in trouble. If they don't stop laying
eggs, they can lose calcium. Owners need to be sure to give
female egg-laying birds calcium supplements to insure their female birds
remain healthy.
Sometimes female cockatiel
owners take their female birds' eggs away, especially if there
has been no male present to make the viable, to save them upset
when their eggs don't hatch. However, this can actually be
counter productive; if there are eggs in the nest, the females
will keep on sitting on them, and not lay new ones. But if the
eggs are removed, they will keep on laying more, and become
exhausted and calcium depleted.
Please check the general
info on the bird care "When
is it time to go the vet?" page for more information on signs of health
and behavior to watch for in all birds, including canaries, that
mean your bird
may need to go the avian professional, or vet.
