Kiwi's Mom Rollerblading along the road Celebirdy of the Month. Mayor of the Avenue. I actually don't know how many eggs they can lay, never considered that question.
I would start by keeping a journal and weigh her each morning if you can. I think it is smart that you are observing her behaviour changes. If possible I would add that into the journal as well so that you can see a record of her weight, her behaviour and I might even include her diet of that day in the journal. It may help you understand the bigger picture and it will help your vet since they can see a clear record. If she continues an upward trend I would consult your vet. Your vet will have a lot better idea of what is normal for your bird.
It would be ideal to find a way that does discourage nesting as overlaying can have serious risks. I am sure you know this which is why you are looking for advice.
Hopefully a journal can help you understand what is causing her to want to lay and then you can start curtailing those stimulating elements. For example I would remove the coconut straight away. If she is laying frequently make sure she gets the proper intake of calcium and vitamins. I think in addition to increased sleep you might want to try and give her more challenging foraging activities.
The more time she spends working on food the less time she has to worry about nesting. I am not sure of your current diet but you can try offing more veggies. Something like cauliflower or carrot can act as a toy as they can spend a long time ripping it to shreds! Thank you fashionfobie!
I keep a record of her weight but have not logged what I give her. She loves lettuce and broccoli! Two males will mate and work their nesting box as a true pair would — except no eggs will be laid.
Two females will do likewise, except both females will generally lay eggs — which means you are going to have 8 or more eggs in the nesting box. How do you tell if an egg is going to hatch? Hold the egg carefully between thumb and forefinger over a flashlight, candle or bare light bulb.
Do this about three or four days after the start of incubation. Males and females can both be affectionate, playful companions. Both require daily handling to socialize and acclimate.
They can be hand-tamed and are very interactive. In fact, many parrotlet owners will tell you that their birds enjoy hiding in their shirt pockets or scarves, or riding around on their shoulders. Let your parrotlet bite on the paper towel if need be. Generally, two male cockatiels will get along just fine.
At Xtreem Parrotlets, we have great success in breeding our birds in cages with the dimensions of 14 x 14 x 14, with two perches in the cage. The perches must be sturdily attached to the cage as infertility can come from wobbly perches. Natural wood perches should be used so the bird can exercise its feet. Food and water should be placed in an area where they are not spoiled by droppings. Place food into open dishes because parrotlets often will not stick their heads inside dishes with hoods and could starve.
Water should be placed in a glass tube fountain. Nest boxes should be placed on the front of the cage is so one of the birds look out they always see the inside of their cage. Some birds are fond of throwing the nesting material out of the box, so be sure to replace it.
Baby parrotlets can often develop many disabilities such as orthopedic problems if left on the bare floor of the box. Sometimes birds will accidentally bury their eggs in the shaving and lose them, we recommend you check each nest box every two days to make sure everything is in order.
Also, it will teach the parrotlets to get used to you as they see you frequently going in and out of their box.
