So my cocktail Tilly is about 1 and a half now but since September this is her 3rd clutch of eggs she has layer, I moved into temporary housing in June 2017 while buying my first house went through,it was a pretty dark room she was in with a tiny window (we all shared that room) anyway once I moved to a better tenor hoise which was much brighter sheared what was now her 3rd ever clutch, I wasn’t unsurprised giving the environment change, however once I moved My house she layed again about a month later and then againjust before Christmas and now I’m pretty sure she’s about to lay again. She makes a weired squeaky wheel noise a few days before she starts laying, then she’s starts eating loads of cuttlefish and water, then she starts walking around the bottom of her cage then she has extra wet poo and she gets very aggressive, she’s not ill she’s going to lay an egg again, she normally lays around 3 in each clutch but I just feel this is too much. I dnt know how to help her. She lives next to a male conour (reggie age 5)I don’t think she would see another bird species as a possible mate, but they get distressed when I separate them, they talk to each other back and forth they seem to have a strange bond, they also live with 2 chinchillas in the room (they all seem to get on okay no one annoys anyone sleep, temperature is all good) I’ve tried limiting daylight by drawing the curtains earlier to stimulate winter, and I just don’t know what’s too much and any advice. I’ve spoken to an exotic pet vet but they didn’t have much advice. I’m just worried about her mental and physical health and strain this puts on her. Any advice. All my animals are rescue and had multiple homes before me. She has a mirror in her cage, should I remove that I get the feeling she’s be quite upset but perhaps that fact itself means she attached to it, there’s no comfortable nesting spots, she nests in the corner of the cage. She’s a difficult bird to handle, she’s taken a long time to try and tame and she’s no where near tame, it’s going to be a long ride with her but I know she trusts me but she’s nowhere near a bird you can touch, she takes food from my hand and will come out of her cage when she wants to but when she’s egg laying she’s angry and moody, she’s not clipped but she doesn’t fly well, still trying to teach her what a wall is
but she’s my baby girl, just want to make sure she’s healthy and happy Any advice?
