How many eggs can a parakeet safely lay?
how many eggs can my parakeet lay safely in one month?
Hi,
Parakeets can lay up to one egg per day, but it will eventually deplete her of calcium and she will die.
To keep this from happening, you need to KEEP the eggs where they are. Removing them will stimulate more eggs. If you must remove them, replace them with marbles or something else of similar shape and size to eggs.
The first step in treating chronic egg laying is to put your bird on a complete diet. A bird that is on an balanced diet is in little danger of the health problems associated with chronic egg laying.
The next step is to have your bird examined by an avian veterinarian for a complete work up, including exam, blood work, cultures, and all necessary treatments. Your veterinarian will be looking for bacterial and yeast infections related to holding in the poops, signs of poor nutrition and stress, and clinical signs of calcium deficiency.
The next step is to decrease the amount of light your bird receives during the day. You want to provide them with a maximum of 10 hours of light per day. This will help prevent hormone release that leads to egg production.
