How to discourage laying eggs

754 Views 10 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  FaeryBee
One of my budgies maxi had an egg laying cycle about a month ago and now it has started again. She doesn't produce any fertile eggs and gives eggs without mating. Is this normal for her health. By God's grace she is very healthy but is this monthly egg laying healthy for her in the long term? And for context I haven't put any nest making things in the cage.

How many budgies do you have and are they mixed genders?
Is Maxi housed in with other budgies?

Cody has provided you with very good information.

Please do everything you can to prevent her from laying.

Rearranging their cage frequently will help tremendously.
Please be sure you never put a nest box or anything that could be used as a nesting site in their cage.
When they come into condition, you need to limit the light they get to 8 hours a day and limit the amount of protein in their diet.
Please answer the questions asked.
We need as much information as possible to give you the best advice.

I'm glad you have them separated by gender.

Do you have the males' cage in a different room from the females?
How is Maxi doing now?
Has she laid any additional eggs?
Excellent. I'm going to close the thread now.
If you need it reopened, please send me a Direct Message.

Best wishes!
