Males


can two male zebra finches lay eggs without a female


Answer:

Hi,

It is impossible for a male bird to lay an egg. If you have eggs, then you have at least one female. Female birds can lay eggs without a male, but they will not be fertile. It’s like chicken eggs you buy at the store. A male is not needed for egg laying.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
