Mitzi is broody. It is that time of year again - she laid eggs in October 2019 and September 2021. Her abdomen is swelling and she has put on weight. I have been covering her up earlier again. I don't want her to lay any eggs.

Hi Jane,
Do you need to keep Monty away from her during this time so the egg isn't fertilized?

No, they stay together because they have never regarded each other as potential mates and also because of his feet problems Monty wouldn't be able to manage anyway. Both Monty and Mitzi see me as a potential mate.

Oh ok cool. Does Mitzi help Monty if she sees him struggling with his feet?
Oh no haha. How do you discourage this? I've seen parrots who try to do the cloacal kiss with their human's hand. I guess you just don't encourage it then.
