It’s important to review egg-laying problems on a regular basis.
The discussion below will focus on single egg-laying instances and prolific egg-laying.
Other aspects of egg-laying encompass egg binding.
This is when the egg doesn’t make it out of the oviduct, the area between the uterus and cloaca on its own.
Another problem is when eggs are laid internally.
A couple of weeks ago we talked about “You Are Sick With No Caique Caregiver – Now What?“
In this follow-up thread we learn that “yes, it can always be worse.”
Hello Catherine,
I had written to you several weeks ago pertaining to the safety of microwaveable popcorn.
Two weeks ago, this coming Monday, I had kidney surgery and returned to my apartment door being busted into (door locks forcibly opened).
Hi Mitch!
I hope that you, Catherine and the birdies are all well. I just found out that I need to have kidney stone surgery (August 4th) that in the past it has always been ambulatory (one day), but this time it might turn into a 2 and possibly 3 night stay if it turns into invasive surgery and if I encounter any complications (fever, chills, infection, etc.). I live alone and am not sure how I will manage afterward.

Wintertime in NSW Australia
G’day from Down Under,
Here in Tamworth, we are just about to go into winter.
Editors note: that’s early June Endnote
The temperature can occasionally get as low as -10c (14f), usually about 0 to -2c.
I was hoping you can advise me on what to do to look after my two little budgies and green cheeked conure through the worst of it. (more…)
Can you do anything for this?
I have a Catalina macaw she is 30.
Her right eye seems to be not as clear as her left. It’s like a very lite graying.
Sometimes she bumps into things.
Her diet consists of seeds and pellets she also gets prime vitamins in her water
Also a little treat from our dinner plates at night.
Thanks
Steven
If you want richer, robust, and more granular content than Facebook bird groups and Google searches for information about pet bird care, it’s best to navigate towards expert sources (which is why you’re here 😉
We spend a lot of time fact-finding and this list (below) is just one of our sources.
All papers were written by veterinarians, ornithologists, zoologists, and other accredited professionals.
Notably absent from the prior answers (on Quora) are the words “and I inspect my bird’s feet by flipping him over and examining his feet under a magnifying glass on a regular basis.”
As a vendor of bird cages and accessories for over 25 years, we advise people to take the dowel rod perches out of the cage immediately upon assembly.

Hi, I live in the UK, just in case that makes a difference, which it probably doesn’t.
I am considering buying another pet bird but want to make the right choice for both the bird and myself.
I have had budgies, canaries and a cockatiel in the past, all indoor, cage birds.
I am looking for a bird somewhere between the size of a parrotlet to smaller than a large parrot-like an African Grey.
Although I firmly believe that correlation does not necessarily imply causation I’m very concerned with the fact that 60% of pet birds die of malnutrition according to necropsies (animal autopsies) performed by veterinarians.
I can’t help feel the explosion of feeding “chop” to pet birds has fueled that statistic.
