I just cleaned all the cages this morning, and had to go out a bit...when I came back, I went to check on the birds and found a broken egg in the bottom of the javas' cage!

The pair was sold to me back in December. The pied one, the breeder was positive was male, and the normal grey one was most likely female, but he wasn't 100% sure. I was second-guessing the breeder a couple of months ago, when the normal grey started to sing and 'bounce'. So it looked like I had one male for sure, but I was not certain of the pied. I'm now about 99.9% sure it was the pied who laid the egg.

I have never observed them mating at all.

What do you think?



My original thread from when I first got the javas (with photos) is here:

Well what do you know . I bet that was a surprise, lol.
If one is singing, and one is laying eggs, then the odds are, that you do have a true couple

Are you hoping to breed them?
If you are, then I would offer them a nest, and stand back . Once they start, there is apparantly no stopping them, or so I'm told.

If you do get babies, will you keep them, or sell them to your Pet Store?

I am planning on breeding them at some point in the future. At the pet store, I believe they breed some of their own birds so we'll see

If they aren't interested, I have enough other connections/avenues where I could sell them. And yes, I'll probably keep 1 or 2 depending on the colors

I forgot to mention, they are from show quality stock.

Well, if you could figure out a method of delivery, you could find several customers just here on the Forum, lol.

But it probably include some back alley, not all together legal transactions.... just ask Babs....

See Nerine, you have customers already .
Now let' see if Isobea is in on this as well....
And who else was it, who was dying for Javas, and couldn't get them anywhere?

Buwah hah hah.....

Oh yes, oh yes, count me in. I can do back alleys and will even do oversized trench coats in the middle of summer in So Cal if necessary. Sun glasses after dark? No problem.

Iso, Psst, over here... Elana tailor designed these bras for the occasion. Put this on under your trench coat. Roughly 50 birds fit in here.

Here Sojourner, yes you can have one too. Dont be shy ...hurry put it on before anyone notices. Yes, I KNOW you're a guy. That just means you can fit a HUNDRED birds!....SHHHH!! Just put it ON!!**looks around **

Remember this Elana?

Babs

Oh yes, I remember it was one of my errr.... sillier ideas.

lovezebs

Silly and hysterically funny

Babs

NOT a guy! But I can probably still fit 100 birds. I once had an hourglass figure, but the sands have shifted with time.

Omg!! I'm sooo sorry! Honey, see that little gender icon under your name? You accidently checked the "male" icon!!

I'm blushing and cracking up at the same time! I love all the craziness in here.
