I have two quakers male/female the female lays eggs but doesn't know what to do with them. She doesn't sit on them and lays any where. I found one egg in their food dish. I personally think she is too young to know what to do. I don't think the male know what to do. I really didn't want her to lay but nature decided it was time. I put a nest box in and they don't use it. The only reason I put the nest box in is because she lays all over but, the nest box. Maybe next year she will be ready. I went to the pet store in my area where there were two tiels that looked very small. I have babies that are twice their size. I don't understand why people would bring their birds that don't appear to be big enough to a pet store to be sold. :

Hi, well first, I'd ask the question, why to breed these guys - there's way too many of them. And they're always up for adoption. I would take the box down, some are just not good parents and never will be. The female will lay eggs, it's nature...esp. if you make the environment as such. But think again, on breeding them....esp. if they're sweet. If they are pets, they need to remain pets -- people are looking for pets that don't bite. So this may be an avenue..... regards, I have two quakers male/female the female lays eggs but doesn't know what to do with them. She doesn't sit on them and lays any where.

| *Eeep* I agree. I wouldnt even breed them. They would have to be left alone if they were breeding, and not be pets. Also, there are a lot of them around, always looking for homes. I would stick to breeding bigger birds, uncommon birds.
