My budgie laid 3 eggs and has been incubating them. However egg number 4 was on the cage floor cracked so we removed it, and now egg five is also on the cage floor but looks ok. We are not sure if she laid them there on purpose and if we should move it or not?
Hi,
You can put the egg in the box with the others if it isn’t damaged. One of the parents may be tossing the eggs, and if so, it’s likely the male and he probably wants to breed. If these guys are under 2 years old, then they are a bit young to breed, and the male is probably more interested in mating than caring for eggs. All you can do is hope they care for the eggs. If they toss them out, then I would remove the nest box and rest the pair for at least 6 months to let them grow
Thank you for Asking Lafeber,
Brenda
