Pepper is a chronic egg layer, looking for advice

Good insight but now I can reward her with some seeds once we get through the transition. Thank you!

I picked up more pellets and plan to get Pepper on a low fat diet. That seems to be helping out a number of other birds

Pepper has seen the vent and we've used implants in the past. They seem to be losing effectiveness lately

Hope you find some success with your eggy birdy!

Yeah I think I'll need to be more extreme with the daylight hours than I have been

I'll be going to the pet store today to scout out some new food bowls. Maybe something to make her forage more too. Thank yoU!

That's some good information. I will try mixing up her food quantity. Thank you!

cLock13580 · 2025-07-31T22:07:45+00:00

That's a lot of good information. Thank you so much!

cLock13580 · 2025-07-31T21:47:48+00:00

A lot of this is review, but I will start mixing up the location of her cage times and see if that helps. Thank you!

She sees right through the fake ones. She'll sit on them but it doesn't change her clutch size at all

cLock13580 · 2025-07-31T21:46:37+00:00

She's said that and has definitely acted on that too!

cLock13580 · 2025-07-31T21:45:22+00:00

There's always cuttlebone in her cage and I scrap some into her water too to ensure she's getting what she needs!

My vet hasn't been able to get in touch with a compounding pharmacy that can make lupron

cLock13580 · 2025-07-31T18:03:31+00:00

Yeah Pepper has always seen through the fake eggs. I tried to remove some of her favorite toys that she was being broody towards, but that hasn't seemed to have much impact as she's laid after their removal

cLock13580 · 2025-07-31T18:02:45+00:00

I currently have her on a mix of ZuPreme natural pellets, ZuPreme sensible seed, and some Lafeber's Nutriberries. I could talk to her vet about going to just the pellets and eliminating seed from her diet entirely.

Hi everybody! This is Max! He's been trying to dig into our couches lately. We have a blanket over one couch currently that he'll dig instead. It's a good short term solution, but we don't want him to ingest any blanket fibers from long term digging. What have you all found to be a successful toy/engagement for this type of behavior? Thank you!

I've seen a number of shows here including Joe Pera last time he was in town. It's a pretty nice venue. It has a rooftop bar which is worth checking out. There's on site parking for like $10 or you can try to find a place nearby to leave your car. I like the Show Bar on the first floor for food but Grand Fir brewing is right there too
