I was up late last night with my sweet Eclectus girl Kaleena, who laid an egg. This is a fairly common occurrence for her, every 3 to 4 months. (The eggs are infertile since I do not breed her to Killian.) It is amazing to me that a bird of her size can produce such large eggs, although this one was a little smaller than usual. I always feel for her, it just hurts to watch her get that huge egg out! Thankfully she is perfectly healthy and has had scans and tests done to put me at ease knowing she has a healthy level of calcium and is not likely to be egg bound, but it is always a concern. Bless her heart, she is so sweet and not aggressive at all like most female Eclectus parrots when nesting, and just seems to want extra snuggles and attention during this time, and I am happy to oblige. :)
