Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	I would leave the egg where it is, and they should then just ignore it, take it away and she might lay more. they are a lot older than what you have been told I am guessing if they were hatched first week april they would only just be leaving their parents at between 8 and 10 weeks

My name is I'll give you a clue	It will in the end but I would leave it as is for a few days, if you take it away she might lay again which is not something that you want if they are young. Parrotlets do not sit on their eggs as soon as they are laid they normally wait untill the second is laid which might be in two days time. Even if they are early 09 birds they are really still too young, some will raise chicks at this age but its not recommend. 09 is just the year I am guessing although it could relate to anything as there are no laws to say that a bird has to be ringed and what must be on the ring. If you can see the ring what else is on it ?

Cockatiel I live in Pennsylvania My name is Bonnie	I agree with Kev don't pull it or she will continue to lay. If you were told she was born April 2009 that would only make her 3 months or so old no baby starts laying at 3 months of age., she has to be older than that.

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	no need to get fed up about it :) they are still beautiful Parrotlets, I just think it would be very unlikely for an 06 09 baby to lay eggs I suppose not impossible but just unlikely. There is no way of telling the age of a parrotlet, a lot of people could tell you if its very young as their beaks are more pinker and they have a baby look to them but very hard to do from a photo

Like the blue pied and blue fallow, but the normal blues and greens were born with black nails :)
