How to discourage laying eggs

761 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.

It is not uncommon to have a budgie that does this, it is not good and can lead to other problems. Constant egg laying depletes calcium, and there is a risk of egg binding and cloacal prolapse both are emergency situations should they happen. Does Maxi live with other birds? Please read these links Egg Binding: How to Prevent/How is it Treated?
