My 18-year-old blue-crowned conure parrot just laid an egg – first one of her life. What should I do?

She’s the only parrot we have, so obviously it wasn’t fertilized. Do I need to take any special measures to care for her? Should I leave the egg in the cage or remove it? I definitely didn’t see this coming after all these years.

I would leave it for awhile. Even though it’s not fertilized she will probably want to “take care” of it and it may give her a feeling of companionship. Make sure she is getting a good parrots diet and adequate calcium since egg production uses up a lot of calcium. It wouldn’t hurt to make her a nest/container for her egg to be in…I have used a large plastic bowl with nesting material in the past. Good luck!
