Aluminum Outdoor Wall
What's wrong with my cockatiel?
She is approx 14 mos. old & she has ben laying eggs (unfertilized) about every 2-3 days for the past 3 wks or so. She has the run of our caged in lanai, but lately she's been picking on my concrete wall & eating it as well as my painted aluminum outdoor furniture. I purchased a new cuttle bone for her thinking that maybe she needed calcium but she doesn't pay attention to it. She eats well (mostly cockatiel food) & I even boil her eggs which she loves to eat. Is this some kind of sympton or what? I'm worried that she'll get poisoned with the paint or metal. Has anyone experienced this with their bird before?
Also, don't take away the eggs that she is laying. She will continue to lay to replace the eggs. Let her sit on the eggs until she is done with them. This will take about 21 days, then and only then it is safe to throw the unfertalized eggs away.
She must not be allowed to chew on the things that you are describing. If she starts to act odd at all, rush her to the vet. She can get metal poisoning from the paint. Most paints have zinc in them that is toxic to our birds.
Start giving her dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, dandilion, etc to help replace the calcium she is using to lay eggs.
Reduce the ammount of daylight she gets to 12 hours or less, this will help stop her egg laying cycle.
Keep an eye on her, if she becomes eggbound she needs a vet ASAP. If she does not stop laying, also see a vet.
