- MY BIRD LAID AN EGG, WHAT NOW! Let's talk about egg binding, egg-laying, the problems that come with egg-laying, what to do if your bird has laid an egg, and how to prevent or stop them from laying eggs in the future! There are a lot of problems that come with egg-laying such as egg binding, egg yolk peritonitis, osteoporosis, hypolipidemia, and prolapsed cloacas! Birds can lay eggs without a mate and you could even be the cause of them laying eggs! As parrot owners, we should try our best to discourage egg-laying in our parrots!

This is THE MOST INFORMATIVE bird channel I've found by far, so far. I've watched dozens of these videos from other channels and they all cover the same basics but you include tidbits of information that they would not. You are extremely thorough. And you add just the right amount of silliness. A sprinkling of haha, a dash of aww and a heaping pile of STRAIGHT FACTS
I don’t know why I’m watching this while having a male bird..😅 but the more you know I guess
Hahahaha
Me to
Actually i don't even have a bird imao
I’m getting a male bird and watching this
Same here
Love your personality and love for birds great speaker
thank you so much! 💕
My 5 year old conure laid an egg for the first time last year, I was so freaked out.
Now that the summer is starting we get sunlight until like 9pm, but we still put our bird to sleep at 6 and have been encouraging her to step away from her cage a bit more often. These are new things that we have incorporated this year, so I'm hopeful she wont lay any more eggs
Did these things work for you? I have a similar issue with my newly adopted GCC.
Hey friends! Would love to know what other things you do to try and discourage your birds from laying eggs! Please share below so we can share the knowledge! ❤️
Ok well my bird has laid 8 eggs. I don't know if I'm supposed to hand feed them when they hatch or my birds can handle that. They are cockatiels and the eggs are hatching very soon. Someone please help
Most likely the bird will feed them but if they are first time moms,then there is a chance that they might get confused and abandon the chicks.
@@hannahxiao3847 did they hatch yet?
@Gabby :D its a cliffhanger
How do you deter your 15 yr old male Cockatoo from trying to mate you everytime you get him out? He's not been sexually stimulated before that we know of. He's a rescue that we have had for 2 years.
That 2:25 is what got me to subscribe 💀💀💀 love the content, very informative. Definitely will be showing my mom this video so she can stop scratching my GCC’s wings and tail feathers when she bird sits
i have officially found the best parrot chanel of YT. So many will simplify things or just know about a tiny bit and don't do any research about the topic they are talking about. You are awesome and deserve all the followers
12:18 I once heard of this lady that boiled her birds egg and then she found her peeling and eating it. What an excellent mother she would have been!! 🤣😂
I feel bad for the birds :
@@jc_1451 the macaw literally ate her own egg
Brilliant advice and variety of useful information! Thank you for passing on all this knowledge!! I love your channel!!
Ooh 10,000 subscribers! You go girl!
Man I love your videos....there are a few people I watch but I think I enjoy yours the most.....keep up the good work.
Your videos are excellent!!!

We knew our 2 love birds were going to lay an egg any day soon but just today we saw she laid an egg and were sooo excited!! But I’m also freaking out and this video was so helpful, thank you 🙏🏼
As always awesome advice very accurate keep up the good work
Extremely helpful! Thank you 😊
Great information! Thank you!
Extremely helpful. Thank you so much
Great info. Thank you so much!
Thank you! Our bird had laid several eggs. We have been taking the eggs out because they are usually broken on the bottom of the cage. All your advice is great. I will make the changes.
Our cockatiel just laid an egg and we weren't sure what to do never expected it! Thankyou for this video, you know your stuff!! :)
Thank you! This is great information!
I watched this a few weeks ago just for fun, but I came home from work today and boom an egg. This is beyond helpful! Thank you sooo much!
Wow! Interesting timing!
Such great info thanks so much
My nearly 9 year old sun conure laid her first egg today (Christmas morning!) This video was really helpful thank you! Going to call the vet as soon as possible for a check up. I thought all this time she was a boy! Never once showed signs of egg laying in the past, so it was very shocking to see an egg 😅
I can relate! I adopted an 8 year old green cheek "DNA proven male" several months ago. DNA results were false. She laid her own first egg a couple of months after having her. The shelter she came from is a very reputable place, so I know they did, indeed, have the DNA test done They have filed a complaint against the company that got the results wrong.
Unfortunately, there may be others who adopted birds thinking they were males and ended up with females. Hopefully, though, I'm the only one. I fell in love with my adopted green cheek conure at first sight and adore her, so I'm doing what I can to prevent her from laying eggs.
My bird cockatiel just laid an egg today. So your video is just in time. ❤️
thanks for the advice
THANK YOU!!!

great vid!
Thanks for the información every good
Beautiful bird 🐦 Great channel 👍👍
thank you so much! 💕
This was very informative. My turquoise GCC was hatched on 12/20/2014 and I adopted her at almost 2 years old in October 2016. We don't have an avian vet within 150 miles but she has a vet who treats exotics. I always wanted to test for sex, but doc didn't want to because of having to draw blood unnecessarily. She said, "Have they laid an egg? If not, it's probably a boy." This many years later, 1/17/2023 she was acting off, no sign of illness or injury but lethargic and breathing was a little rapid at 52-53 RPM. Being a holiday all the vets were closed and I planned to take her the next day if she wasn't better. In the early hours of 1/18/2023 there was an egg on the floor and that day she was seemingly 100% better. It's now 1/26/2023 and she laid another last night after I covered her for bed. She's not interested in them at all and both were a little cracked like had she pecked them, so I took each one away immediately. I thought we had dodged a bullet having a male, but now I'm worried about all the issues a bird can suffer from eggs. She does have a sleeping hut but hasn't laid in it and only laid on the cage floor, it's only used for sleeping, I know all the dangers of them. She only likes me, and I don't encourage hormonal behavior or touch anything but head and neck and feet to trim nails, but I guess she is anyway. I'm very structured about sleep time and she gets 12 hours of covered quiet. I'm concerned about her calcium and magnesium and really want her to stop. It's a shame birds can't be spayed like cats and dogs to reduce the risks of reproductive issues.
Oh, BTW, my male GCC has slept in a happy hut for 25 years (that's how old he is) without any problems. It hasn't created behavior issues or anything else. He'd be lost without his happy hut. I guess it's female birds who potentially have issues thinking the huts are viable nests.
My birds have very structured sleeping times, too (they are covered and in darkness for 12 hours a day). My female GCC didn't lay an egg until a couple of weeks after giving her a happy hut (thinking she'd be fine with one like my male has been). Correlation isn't necessarily causation, but considering the timing of her laying the egg after giving her a happy hut, I have to believe that's what triggered her.
Has your bird laid more eggs?
Thank you!
Thank you so much
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for an informative video ...you saved my brain from meltdown...
My bird laid 3 eggs today, I had no idea this could be done within a mate! Thanks for this video.
this helps me alot because my conure might lay a egg and i did make sure that there is a bird vet near me just in case and im so happy i found this video ( i have a green cheek and a pineapple
Your glasses are so clean
My conure laid 2 eggs, yes, I freaked out thank you for all the info, will try to implement all you suggestions.
I’ve been thinking about getting a bird. It’s been decades since I’ve had one. Cockatiels have a piece of my heart for some reason. I’m a painter and just like watching bird videos for inspiration. Pineapple 🍍 HAHA!!! What a cute name 💜💜💜 ... OMG Pumpkin 🎃 ... that’s a cute name too 💜💜💜 You have a new fan GURL 💜💜💜
Hey I notice you said your a painter! That’s so cool! But if you want to get a bird just make sure you don’t have them around paint too much because the toxins in paint is toxic to birds if they breathe it!
@@katiediwan1893 oh totally. I’m allergic to oil paint, so I use watercolor and acrylic for my own safety as well. Plus, I usually paint when I’m alone in my studio at like three in the morning and I live in Sarasota, so I alway have my windows wide open. I appreciate your adoration for our Feathered Friends. 💜
Thankyou ❤️ my finch laid an egg today only ❤️
so cute
Omg I am just sitting with my male green cheek and he is literally watching this video
Im fortunate that my breeder does DNA test so you know what your getting, like your clips on making bird toys, my bird is been with me for 2 wks. so im pretty green at this but im learning lots keep teaching me, fang im sure appreciates it brian
Hello,
Thank you so much for this video! You asked in your video to share with you if any of our birds layed eggs. Well, i would like to share with you my shock of experience so far.... so i have a cockatiel and tomorrow is her birthday and she will be... FOURTEEN!!! Recently she has been showing all the signs you mentioned and i didnt look into researching about egg laying as i didn't believe it would happen cuz i don't have another bird and i have had this one for 13 years by herself. well she was really struggling the past couple days and i thought she was very sick and dying, but today i found that she layed an egg!!!!! i am so so shocked and panicking that i hope she doesn't keep laying them, like you mentioned it could happen. anyways, just thought i would share with you my experience. this is the first time anything like this for me and her. I hope i will be successful at doing what i need to help her through this time and to cause her to not lay anymore eggs.
Thank you so so so very much for your video!! extremely thankful!! thank you so so much!! God bless you! take care!
thank you for this!! one of my female budgies just laid 3 eggs and it freaked me out.
My cockatiel just laid her 1st egg & your video told me what to do thank you
Thank you for this video; my granddaughter’s cockatiel just laid an egg and we were shocked and unsure of what to do.
I’m so happy I found your channel! I love all the content that you post and I definitely subscribed! :) I recently just got a high yellow sun conure and a peach fronted conure, the peach fronted is a boy and my sun conure is a girl (they don’t get along so well which might be a good thing lol) but I’m so nervous for my sun conure, she’s only 4 months old but I definitely want to avoid her laying any eggs in the future! This video helped calm my nerves a bit, super informative! Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much and so glad you found it helpful!😊 💕
Thank you so much for this video. I was in shock last night when I looked into my cockatiel’s cage and there was an egg!! We had figured she was a female based on her markings and colors. But, had never ever thought it was even possible for her to lay an egg! Now we are waiting to see if she lays any more! Only 1 yesterday so far. Thank you so much for all this information! Very helpful. 😊
Did she lay any more? If not, did you do anything differently to prevent her from laying more?
Hi thank you for this video, how do you clean the cage when they are nesting on the bottom?
BirdTricks channel just gave you a shoutout in one of her video. 😊
My birb laid a massive egg just a few moments ago. It gave me quite the shock.
She's up on the curtains where she usually sleeps and it's 12am. I just heard a giant thud that scared me awake and saw a splattered egg on the floor.
It looked huge, I don't know how that fit inside her! And she seems to be in shock or maybe a little bit of pain or something so I'm awake now and I'm gonna be worried about her for the next few hours as usual.
Eva behind is like .. these ladies gotta stop ...😂 he is soo cute ..
This is a very helpful video!!! My pineapple green cheek conure (6yr old) just laid 6 eggs yesterday for the first time and yes I was freaked out. I want to ask why you need to boil the eggs before you put it back? Thanks!
Thank you miss... your videos full of information that I really need..
Today my baby bird cotton laying one egg.. and this is my 1st experience.. I have 4 gc and they really make me tired.. I don't think adding more of them is a good idea since 4 to me is already headaches. but when cotton lay egg today I feel pity of her and makes me have to think what I should do..
my cockatiel already laid 7 eggs 😱 and I have been wondering how stop him from laying more eggs and how to help her recover ty very much this vid helped me a lot
This video is so good, I really wish I had been able to find your channel earlier. My budgie laid five eggs, but three have already hatched. Do you have any advice on how to train the babies? The rest of the flock had an owner who didn’t treat them well and they refuse to listen to me.
Hey did you provide a nesting box or did they layed fertilized eggs without nesting box?
There are YT videos for training budgies and other birds. It takes TIME and a lot of PATIENCE. I've had birds for 45+ years.
I wish i found this video sooner :(
My love bird recently passed away cause of egg laying and I had no that happens to them :/
hey i know this video is a bit older but this helped me learn more what I should be doing or asking my dad to do with my bird. My lovebird is laying eggs again, and I get worried a lot because she suddenly just goes quiet. When we last took her to the bird store to get clipped, they said she did look healthy. I know its common for lovebirds to lay eggs a lot and they warned us of that when getting one. I just feel I need to do better when I can tell she's nesting, but I'm a first time bird owner so I didn't know too much. Thank you so much for this!
I cant help u with the eggs, but why the heck do u clip ur bird?? If u want a pet that cant fly then dont get a bird, please watch some videos about why you shouldn’t clip your birds wing. If youre not gonna do that feel free to ask me to explain. NEVER, every clip a birds wing..
My conure loves oatmeal with honey and cinnamon. Not everyday maybe two three times a month.
My conure I thought was a boy for the last 4 years just layer an wgg
Omg! I am a new cocktail owner and this morning she laid an egg and I was so happy 😂 I didn’t know it’s not a good thing 😢😅
Aha same my lovebird gave eggs
Omg My bird is gonna lay eggs!!
when you say 14 hours, does that mean they have to sleep for that long? i cover my birds and even turn off the light and hang out in the other room at night just so they can sleep. but they tend to just sit there in the dark, not actually sleeping, they sleep prob around 12 and are already awake when i wake up. actually they wake me up in the morning chirping and screaming asking me to let them out. plus they prefer to sleep during the day outside their cages on their play gyms. theyre like bats/vampires 😅
Twelve hours of uninterrupted sleep is perfect and it's the normal amount of sleep they should be getting! 💕If your birds start to lay, that's when you want to start giving them 14 hours of uninterrupted sleep so it kinda mimics the winter months when there’s less sunlight and when it's not a good time to lay. I'd say 14 hours of sleep until they stop laying (could be about a month) and slowly adjust back to the normal 12 hours of sleep! My birds are also my personal alarm clocks lolol 😂and they also take naps throughout the day!
@@FlyingFids I think she meant her birds don't fall asleep until 12 o clock (I could be wrong)
And peanut butter in oatmeal to honey and cinnamon
My bird Kazoo lay an egg over and perch and her egg cracked, but thank you for the information it will be helpful
I’m getting four new birds in a few weeks (2 love birds and 2 peach faces love birds), they will be pairs (probably, if not then lucky us) , they will have a huge aviary that I can walk in and out of, it will be in the back yard, is this good? Or do you have to limit their sun times?
Also, luckily the family friend we are getting the birds from is good at breeding, and he knows what to do and any other helpful tips
Also wanna know a funny story
I have 1 male budgie named taco and 1 female cockatiel named Charlie, they are good friends, if one gets seperated from they other, for too long, they will both start to get aggressive until they meet again, they both sit next to eachother, taco preens her, all that, but taco gets very annoying and doesn’t know when to stop, we noticed he kept trying to get closer to her, one day I was sitting with them and TACO TRIED TO DO MATE WITH HER, and I had to get them both back in their cages because I know, that’s not gonna end up well, like ...no...I’m pretty sure it’s impossible, but Charlie tried biting him
(Yes they do have seperate cages I’m not dumb enough to let them be in the same cage)
what pellet do you use??
My one parakeet figured out how to pull her cage blanket down and make a nest in it, I had no idea she did it and she laid an egg! She knocked the egg off the shelf and it broke, there was only a yolk but I'm so stressed about it 😭
Mine AFG just laid an egg. I noticed the last couple days she wasn’t eating and was sitting on her perch a lot. She dropped her egg from her perch. She is 20+ yrs old.
1:04 lol haha
😂😂
Ikr! 😂
I recently adopted a flock of three lovebirds. The owner was keeping them in horrible conditions and has only been feeding them seeds. I’ve been trying to switch them over to a mix of Harrison’s and tops pellets. But they aren’t interested in the pellets at all let alone the fruits and vegetables I try to give them. I really just wanna switch them over to a better diet as soon as possible I just don’t know how. Do you have any tips on how to convert a seed eating bird? Thank you so much!
My issue is that my budgy does not lay the eggs in the nesting box but outside and does not sit on it either. She has laid about 7 eggs in the last 2-3 weeks. Any suggestions.
i have a female cockatiel and she doesn’t have a mate but i can’t tell if she’s about to lay an egg or if she’s just cranky lol. this is a great video tho so thank you
How long does it take
my bird has laid an egg and she is no timed and she is soo protective she was quite social and idk she never leaves her nesting box
My budgie has been laying eggs for a few weeks and I was wondering if they could actually hatch the babies?
My bird is clipped so I make sure she exercises everyday .Step ups help right? I make sure to do training twice a day after 4 hour breaks.
I love it when I can only hear in one ear
What did you do with the egg
My daughter's cockatiel, Miss B, just laid an egg this morning. How soon do we remove it and put it in the freezer? We are 90% sure it's fertilized. I have ordered fake eggs, but they won't be here for 2-3 days. BTW...love your channel! Thanks!
My cockatoo just laid one and there was NO signs until about 6-8 hrs beforehand. I was in bed a couple days (health issues not sick), so when I got her out, she was cuddly like normal and then within 10 min she was rubbing her vent so I placed her back in the cage to stop it. The next morning we found a broken egg in the cave tray. So we tossed it since she has a habit of trying to rub her vent on anything she San (knuckles, toys, Easter eggs (she likes to toss the plastic ones and crack hard boiled eggs). So we never replaced the egg since the idea is to avoid stimulating her. It’s been 4 days and she seems like her normal self again (nobody has become her love toys lol). But I’m increasing her calcium as well as reducing her daylight hours. Is there any food I can add in addition to normal food?
I have had Chedder a sunconure for at many years and just found an egg this morning we thought we had a male. Found just one what should we do for her?
Winter in Malaysia be like ☀️ ☀️ ☀️
My bird just lay an egg I had no idea. She had the egg in a cabinet where we halve glasses. There is no nest should I put scrap paper in area
I think my parakeet is going to lay an egg she’s digging around and was chewing on the cuttle bone more often. There’s two other birds in the cage( cockatiels ) and they flap there wings a lot so I think they will drop the egg and she will keep laying more. Do I move her to another cage now or after she lays them?
My Quaker is not human friendly I know I have made mistakes I would like to know how do I get my Quaker use too me
I wanna keep my birds eggs alive. Not kill them. But idk what to do when they hatch, there’s 4 of them and I’m only 12. I’m not sure what to do or if I should raise the babies myself because the father is starting to become aggressive towards the mom
Hello my lovebird recently laid an egg and idk what to do with it i never got any items for eggs since i never expected her to lay eggs and she doesn't even care for it i don't want the egg to die but idk what to do
another fact for all the beginners is that if your bird is not going off your head/finger and etc you should do 3 small jumps not too hard, and they will fly away. 😊
My blue and gold Macaw has laid 3 infertile eggs in the last 2 months at different times in 60 days . Last night was number three but I did not know I should not throw it away . Now what should I do?? She wants babies so bad never pet her anywhere but her head. Took her favorite toys away from her. She is 14 years old and someone has a mate for her in Alabama at a farm but then she would become a breeder so we just can’t give her up .I know they would love her but we are having a difficult time not knowing what to do.
I need help. My lovebird laid 5 eggs in a clutch. Than we waited a few weeks and took them away. But after she laid 4 more eggs. This time we waited a month than took them away and she still crewing up paper and putting it in the corner of the cage. What do i do?
12:05 It's important to add that if you think the egg may be fertile, boil/freeze the egg the SAME day it's been laid (or within a couple of days)....any longer would be cruel.
I have a quaker parrot name melon the owner abandoned it so I kept the bird had it for about a 4 yr thought it was a male the hole time till she laid a egg
Our pineapple conure only sleeps in her cage and recently started acting strange spending time in cupboards, draws and under chests of draws then doing big poops, then what do ya know, she laid an egg. Is this a reason why she started to bite me and make me bleed a lot? She even rubs her underside on curtains and other objects quite often. I'm about ready to find her a new home bcos to me it seems she'd be happier in an aviary as a breeding bird.
What have I done I been petting my bird a lot lol 😂 I thought he loved me now I know he was just using me.
I got a bird in 2012 with the name Petey and was told it was a male bird but just now for the first time I am seeing an egg 🥚
