Thread: mama bird still in nest

    Question mama bird still in nest

    Last time my lovie had eggs, she had sat on her eggs for maybe two months and wouldn't get off, so I took them out and the nest too. She's had them again, a little too soon (6 of them), they should've hatched by now, but they haven't hatched yet and it's been more than a month (hatched nov 25 ish). Last batch a few weren't sterile, but DIS. This time I kept the humidity above 60 and gave a cuttlebone and egg shell, and lots of veggies and other. How long should I wait till it's been too long for her to be in the nest. Will she ever come out for good of her own free will? I don't want to take the eggs again and have her lay eggs again to replace them. What should I do? Also does the stuff I feed my birds need to be organic/pesticide-free?

    Hi, I can not comment on the length of time in the nest box, but I do give my birds organic food whenever possible. Good luck.
