Mated but no eggs
Posted: 27 Apr 2020, 21:56
Hi all,
I have a question regarding my Gouldians that I hope someone can help with. I have breeding pair. They're bonded. Daily, my male, Ted, jumps up and down, sings and bobs his head for the female, Carole Ann. In return she bobs and shakes her head back at him and points her tail at him and wags it rapidly. I'm confident that they're bonded and like each other. They also have a nest which he spends a lot of time in. She spends a fair amount of time in there but never alone, always with him.
I've seen them mate twice now. On a perch which I know is unusual for Gouldians. Problem is, it was almost two weeks ago and I still haven't got any eggs! Anyone any ideas why this might be? They have sprouted seeds, oyster shell, charcoal, seed mix and veggies daily along with boiled egg and egg shell mixed in. They also have vitamin supplement in their drinking water and added calcium. Oh, and they also have bee pollen sprinkled lightly over their seed mix! I honestly don't know what else to do for them. Help!
Many thanks
Chris
