Cockatoo

My bird has now laid 3 eggs 1 every 3 days she has eaten them now she’s on her own is this normal thank you

Hi Danny,

This is OK as long as she stops laying eggs. It’s normal for her to lay several with a day or two in between each egg. But now that she has laid three, she should be stopping. She might lay another one, maybe two, but if she continues, then you might need to take her to the vet for a hormone implant. Be sure to follow the advice I gave before as far as limiting where to touch her and changing her environment to try to break the egg laying cycle.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
