GS female doesn`t stop laying :(
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2016 10:48 pm
This is the 3rd year we have the female with our male.
We never actually wanted this pair to breed but male is being really pushy so we decided to put a nest and some nesting material so they get distracted and play
first of all unlike his parents, our male and the aviary born female from a broker couldn`t succeed on making the nest at all.
Parents of the male were wildcaughts and they made the nest in one week, laid eggs and had the babies in no time. (Literally one month after we got them)
So this couple is completely unsuccessful, they work on it, it looks like nothing and then we add more material, again they work days on it and whenever we check no nesting material even existing in the nest.
so after 2 months we removed the nest and the nesting material but now she lays eggs. They drop on the floor cos she lays on the perch.
She already laid 9 eggs in few weeks and she got egg bound once last month (sved via liq calcium and heat)
Also egg bound again yesterday and again liquid calcium from mouth and heat saved her today.
we give resting season seeds
once a week boiled eggs
once a week lettuce
once a week apple
have crushed eggshells, f vite, charcoal, cuttle bone, alfa alfa greens and herb salad, sprat millet and a heatlamp over one perch always available.
Don`t know how we can stop her from laying, so scared she won`t pass next time and die.
