Wetting the eggs is normal because there needs to be moist in the air. I forgot is it called humidity? and apparently some male lorikeets get rings around there necks. If you cant afford blood test you can probably put in a nest box and check if it lays eggs or not then remove it after your bird gets tired of the eggs

you have to have a blood test done or wait and see if it lays eggs that is the oly way

Hi, i have 2 rainbow lorikeets. they have laid 2 eggs twice and both times they havent hatched. i think that it is because of the female having a bath and getting the eggs wet. its also summer here so the eggs shud be warm enough. can anyone give me some advice as to what i shud do? or is it normal to have some clutches that dont hatch?

Gday, I have two rainbow lorikeets which i thought were boys but ive had the odd egg. the eggs were laid about 12 months apart, one at a time and were abandoned. ( i found them broken at the bottom of the cage). the two birds sleep under each others wings, i was told that this would mean they are a breeding pair. i have introduced a proper nesting box into their cage. Now at around dusk either one or both dissappear into the box. I have left them alone as much as possible but one is starting to pull out feathers and leaves them in the box. Does this mean theyre making a nest out of their feathers? should i provide them with something to make a nest out of? Any info would be greatly appreciated. cheeers!
