What to Do When a Parrot Gets Stuck on an Egg?

Parrots can become stuck on eggs due to various factors, including the age of the mother bird, the shape and size of the egg, sudden drops in temperature, and stress during the laying process. In the early stages of an egg impaction, a warm and humid environment can be greatly beneficial. Here are some specific steps to help:

Upon discovering that a parrot is stuck on an egg, place a bowl of hot water inside the cage and cover it with a warm towel to create steam. Direct the steam towards the cage. If needed, use a 60W heat lamp or bulb to focus on the mother bird, then return her to a heated box. Monitor her to see if she can lay the egg herself, ensuring the room temperature remains around 30°C.

If increasing the temperature doesn't resolve the issue, gently massage the area where the mother bird is stuck. Be patient and cautious, as the bird may struggle. Always hold the bird securely to prevent injury from running around.

Alternatively, you can try a warm compress. Dampen a cotton swab with a small amount of warm water and gently wipe around the vent to remove any remaining feces. This may help to ease the situation.

If the mother bird still cannot lay the egg, try turning her upside down, with her bottom facing up. Apply a little olive oil to the vent area to help lubricate the egg, then gently stroke her abdomen to make the egg smoother. Return her to the nest to allow her to lay the egg herself.

If the egg remains, consider gently prying open the mother bird's beak and滴入23 drops of ordinary alcohol to stimulate circulation. Then, apply a warm compress to the vent and gently press on her abdomen to encourage her to expel the egg.

If these methods fail, you may need to gently push the egg out, following the egg's contour. Be gentle to avoid breaking the egg. If a broken egg is not cleaned up promptly, it can be fatal to the mother bird.

If the mother bird becomes weak and exhausted during the egglaying process, offer her a glucose solution mixed with water to replenish her energy.

That concludes our guide on how to handle egg impaction in parrots. If none of these methods work, it's best to consult a veterinarian promptly or have a vet come to assist you.
