Hi all,
I adopted Chica, my nanday conure, a year ago from a parrot shelter. The previous owner had given her up because she had laid an egg and they took it away right away so she freaked out. She plucked herself and mutilated her legs. When I got her she was all healed and in great health.
And now a year later I seem to be in a similar situation. She has laid 7 eggs, all unfertilized. 4 that landed at the bottom of her cage she has abandonded so they have been removed. The other 3 made it into a small nest that she has made out of her toys. She has been sitting on these eggs for a week and a half now and I'm starting to get worried. Shes starting to pluck at her wing and breast feathers a little bit.
I'm giving her a calcium supliment, but otherwise I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid to take the eggs and nest out now, knowing what happened in the past.
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks so much,
Jess
