Umbrella Cockatoos

Postby jippypop on Fri Feb 06, 2009 12:52 am

I have a recently paired set of u2s. This is their first time ever being paired. The male is a wild caught breeder, and the female is a wild caught hand tame pet, never bred. I know they have done the deed as they did it within 2 minutes of being introduced. LOL! The female has dropped one egg on the floor in front of the nestbox. It appears that she was trying to get in the box and did not make it. The next egg she dropped on the floor under the perch. Now I know statisticly the eggs should be infertle but I was hoping she would at least get the chance to sit on them. Generally both stay in the nest box. Will she continue to drop them on the floor or will she figure it out? How many more will she lose or is she done for the year? She dropped them this week. Any help would be great. Thanks!!!
