Hi Catherine and Mitch, I’m writing about Jasper my Congo African Grey who is now 8 months old.

Well since he was about 16 weeks old he has been doing the motions to regurgitate his food when I pet him and talk to him.

We have a female Umbrella Cockatoo, age 26 who, despite head-only petting when she is ‘broody’ will lay an occasional egg or two (maybe once a year, sometimes not for a couple of years).

I have never been able to find the answer to: Is it better to let her sit on the eggs or take them away immediately? We have tried both methods. She gets a very healthy diet and supplemental calcium when she is going to lay.

I have read that if you take away the eggs, it encourages them to lay more, but I worry that sitting on the eggs for several weeks isn’t good for her either. Has any research been done on this topic?

Why?? We have 6 parakeets in a huge cage and have had them in here for a year or so…
