It’s important to review egg laying problems on a regular basis.
The discussion below will focus on single egg-laying instances and prolific egg-laying.
Other aspects of egg-laying encompass egg binding.
This is when the egg doesn’t make it out of the oviduct, the area between the uterus and cloaca on its own.
Another problem is when eggs are laid internally.

Can you do anything for this?
I have a Catalina macaw she is 30.
Her right eye seems to be not as clear as her left. It’s like a very lite graying.
Sometimes she bumps into things.
Her diet consists of seeds and pellets she also gets prime vitamins in her water
Also a little treat from our dinner plates at night.
Thanks
Steven

but the answer makes no sense.

Although I firmly believe that correlation does not necessarily imply causation I’m very concerned with the fact that 60% of pet birds die of malnutrition according to necropsies (animal autopsies) performed by veterinarians.
I can’t help feel the explosion of feeding “chop” to pet birds has fueled that statistic.

I enjoyed the article entitled “Should Blind People Own Pet Birds“.
My husband and I are both totally blind.
I am 62 and Barry my husband is 67.
I have kept birds most of my adult life since I was in my early 20s.
I have never had a really large bird the largest being my precious male blue-headed Pionus, Andy.
I also have 3 budgies, Jade, Turquoise, and Lavender.

Over the past few years, we’ve been emphasizing the proper use of man-made lighting and its effect on pet birds.
Search results when googling the term “pet bird lighting” predominantly yield links to products relating to lighting for pet birds.
With the exception of Windy City Parrot and the Lafebers blog, it is difficult to find information about pet birds and the many ways light affects them.
