Harley, a Timneh African Grey; and fond memories of a thousand Finsters, and Peanut, a green-rumped parrotlet who died in 2006.

Yet Another Egg

Posted on: 12/02/02, 11:51:35
This one was laid early yesterday evening, had a soft shell, and was a little small. Luckily, Bruce-with-the-long-arms was handy, so he caught Darjeeling (and received the distinct pleasure of having Earl Grey land on his head), I put two or three drops of straight liquid calcium on her beak, checked her toenails, and popped her into the hospital cage. I caught her again this morning for another dose of straight calcium, and I'll do the same tonight.

I'm pretty sure that Darjeeling has been laying the eggs. First, because she had an egg-laying problem a few months ago; and second, because I saw her lay one the other day. By keeping her in the hospital cage for a few days, I can easily give her increased amounts of calcium, and give her enough of an environmental change to stop (maybe) her current laying phase. Also, if an egg appears in the Finsterium while she's out, I'll know that she's not the only one laying eggs.
