I hate to break it to you, but your female parakeet layed an egg, but if it lives alone, then it's not fertile, like a chicken egg.Good luck!

Male parakeets are unable to lay eggs due to there anatomy. Are You sure that your bird is male? there are a few steps in checking, 1. look at its cere ( nostrils) are they blue grey or blackish? if they are it means that they are male, if it is pink or purplish it is a female. 2. look at its cheeck feathers, if they are bright then it may be a male. 3. Look at its tale feathers, if there is a dark black feather or a couple then it may be a male, the lack of them suggests its a female. The only way to be 99.9% sure is to have a DNA test done by a vet. To tell you only need to worry about the sex of a bird if you are about to breed.Female Parakeets lay uinfertized eggs often, this is due to a "make shift nest" remove anything that could be a source of a nest and provide the bird with some toys or food like carrot or brocolli, this will stop it from focusing on making a family.

My father has raised many different kinds of birds. It is very difficult to tell whether a bird is male or female. Especially with parakeets. Chances are, your parakeet is actually a female and if she is in the same cage with a male, or if you just bought her and she was recently with males, then she got pregnant and laid you a little baby bird. Maybe rename your parakeet to something more feminine.

the 1st element you will possibly desire to do is to verify what you're feeding the chicken it is making it % to place. Parakeets lay while there is an abundance of nutrition. it is the priority with pellets. They make the chicken think of that good situations are rolling in so as that they initiate laying. Get some undeniable parakeet seed. (canary-white millet-oats) do no longer feed something as properly the undeniable seed. One tablespoon of seed an afternoon is all they %. the ideal element to do now could be to leave the eggs on my own. she would be in a position to end the grab and might desire to take a seat on them. it is positive, as long as she is pre-prepared on those eggs she is way less possibly to place back.

Maybe its a she? lol... Or if you have both a male parakeet and a female parakeet, you got confused with who laid the egg o.0!

'He' is definitly, a 'she'. Females can lay eggs even without a male. All egg laid without a male present will be infertile. Budgies usually lay eggs every other day until they have laid the full clutch, usually between 5-7 eggs.

Because he's not a he! Female birds will lay eggs even if alone their whole life, they don't have to be mated to lay an egg. Your bird is a female.

Cuz 'he' is a 'she' ^.^ . Sometimes females get a lot of testosterone which turns their cere blue.
Or maybe your parakeet prefers blue makeup. Hard to tell with all the cross dressing parrots out there.
