When I left the house this morning, everything was perfectly fine. Six hours later and Princess has gone and laid a THIRD egg!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿฅš ๐Ÿฆœ

I've never known her to have a clutch this large! Poor thing must be exhausted! ๐Ÿฅฑ

@Lorraine
Sheโ€™s got that โ€œdo not talk to me or my son everโ€ look our cocktail used to get when she laid. ๐Ÿ˜ Thereโ€™re bites behind those eyes.

@pomegranate_stew

She was already getting very protective of the first two ... she's being downright evil now! I'll talk to her, but I ain't goin near her! ๐Ÿ˜จ

@Lorraine
Spicy chicken.

@pomegranate_stew

๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ YES she is!

@Lorraine @pomegranate_stew I imagine that originally her color is just simple yellow and the redness around her eyes are for warning as some sort of defcon level.
@Lorraine ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿชบ Sweet girlโœจ
@Lorraine
Congrats, Bird Grandma-to-be. ๐Ÿฅณ

LOL ๐Ÿคฃ
Unfortunately the eggs aren't fertile. I thought about getting a male for Sherbert, but I don't think it would go well ๐Ÿ™„

@Lorraine
Does she try to incubate or do you remove them?

@cynblogger

I let her keep them for 21-23 days, like it would be in the wild. Then I take them out and she's a happy camper again after about 10 minutes ๐Ÿ˜€

@cynblogger

Also, if I take them away any earlier, she'll just lay more eggs. Before I knew better, we ended up with 13 eggs in a row!!

@Lorraine
She's so pretty!

@silvermoon82

Thank you so much! She's also a diva and spoiled! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿฅฐ

@Lorraine this might be a weird question but if they're not fertile, are they edible? ๐Ÿค”

@ldottxt

Ya know, I'm not sure! If I HAD to guess, I'd say they are edible. I would imagine eggs get eaten by predators in the wild so ... ๐Ÿ˜‰

@Lorraine hormonal season is crazy! Sometimes it can be mitigated but yeah sometimes it's just about getting them through it
@Lorraine Thirty years ago, when modems were still connected via telephone lines, some friends of mine had a #parrot named USRobotics, and he loved to imitate the sounds the #modem made when connecting to the #internet))
