but why does she rub her but up against the cadge????!!!!???

Answer 1

its very common for a female bird to do this. there doesnt have to be another bird around. I had a parakeet that LOVED his plastic bird wayy too much LOL. Sad to say your little sister will have to deal with it unless she gets a proven male bird.
Good luck

Answer 2

It is in the nature of female birds to lay eggs. That's the way of Mother Nature.

Answer 3

Yes, a female bird will lay eggs even if there is no male present. This is how chicken hens lay the eggs that people eat. We had a lovebird who laid eggs & this is how I realized that she was a girl ;-)

Answer 4

female birds will lay eggs even if they aren't fertilized. The male is throwing them out because they are not fertilized. They will not hatch.
