Parakeet Help Please!?!?!

Question

Ok, so my friend is on vacation and she left her 2 birds (male, female) at my house when she left. I have 2 birds too so its no prob. But then this morning when I went to see them, on the bottom of her cage was a egg. Her birds had alot of eggs before but they were not fertile because the male was not old enough or something. But now I think he is mature enough because his cere is dark blue and gradually gets lighter. Also the female is really old and skinny.The egg is at the bottom of her cage right now and in the corner. What should I do and is it possible that this egg might hatch? Do you know any good sites that will help?

Answer 1

hunni u have to buy a nesting box.. u can get one at any pet store.. and just place it in the cage.. she BIRD HAS TO SIT ON THE EGGS TO keep them warm so it would hatch. also make sure u get some yellow thing its like the stuff u put in a hamsters cage but im pretty sure they have it for birds too.. and u place that on the bottom of the nesting box..

GOOD LUCKK!!!
