Jordan laid an egg!

by San on September 4, 2009

I think deep down, Jordan wants to be a mum…for since we adopted her, she has always had an affinity for caring for her golf balls….beaking them to under her body as if to nest with them.

international eggs!

She now is about, 20 years old and this is the first time she has layed an acutal egg.

She was quiet for days….and then it happened.  [September, 2nd] ….there was 1 egg.

…later in the afternoon as you see the sun setting.

She remains quiet in the day, less chattering, but very sweet, allowing me to pet her.  It is sorta sad, for  she must really want this chick….and of course it is not a fertile egg.  Mrs. G, the lilac crown amazon sits near by and just watches.

I shall let her sit and care for her egg for a bit,  and in a few weeks, take it away, or hopefully she will leave it on her own.  I have had other  female birds do this, but they did not tend to their egg.

Hi
I see your pics from your lady grey.
My african grey Tommy (girl too) is 22 years old, and never laid eggs.
I know, she live all her life with me.
The pics are so adorable!
Jordan is a pretty lady and is a look a like of my Tommy.
