RE: lorikeets Posted 876 days ago the eggs will take around 24 to 26 days to hatch and you can tell if they are fertile in ten days |

RE: lorikeets Posted 822 days ago Hello, the birds do not sit on their eggs 24/7, they fly away in order to get the food but once they leave the eggs behind for days they know they are not fertile and they lose their interest. I have raised a tiny tiny rainbow lorikeet and have now a gorgeous very cheeky but cute boy who talks, giggles and does all possible little tricks. He is one very happy boy. Good luck, let me know if you need any help, 0422 752 112 |

RE: lorikeets Posted 716 days ago bird, It could be that Pip has reached breeding age, has chosen a partner, and you, unfortunately, are now Pip's rival in the search for " true lurv ". Don't know the solution, but a bird breeder or vet. might be able to help. Let's know how it turns out. |
