I have a mating pair of quaker parrots. How will I know when the female is ready to lay her eggs?
One of my mating Quakers has a large belly, we just got them so I don’t know if that means that they are ready to lay eggs, or if they are just fat…or possibly something else. Also I don’t know if the large one is the male for female.
If you don’t have a nesting box on the cage she will start laying eggs in the bottom of the cage you need to put a nesting box on the cage
if she is pregnant she may be a bit fatter around the belly and she should have a slight bump on her rump. If you see them mate expest eggs in about ten days but they will need a box.
