Hello, somebody please help me with this.
My Congo grey laid eggs (infertile) for the first time last May.
I did not know what to do with them, so, as advised by a friend of mine, I let her hold them for a month or so, and then I took them all from her at once, when she seemed to have lost interests in them.
This seemed to be working for a while, but soon she started holding her little white, round ceramic plate, just like she was doing with her eggs. Then she abandoned it, and started holding a white plastic cup she was using for drinking.
She stays almost all day in the cage, except for mealtime and playtime - she comes out to play with her favorite toys for about ten minutes or so, and hurries back into the cage to look after her <baby>.
She repeats regurgitating, munching, swallowing, and bringing it up again, particularly right after meals. She makes chuckling sound to the cup, and sleeps holding it at night on the bottom of her cage.
Has my parrot gone mad for the loss of her eggs?
Will this affect her health, should I stop her doing this?
Best Regards,

You made way to many changes at one time. Give back the familier bowls.
