It’s the bane of bird fanciers everywhere – how to deal with their feathered friend’s primal urge to become a mum – and the very real concern the bird might become egg-bound.
It’s a problem Animal Referral Hospital's Exotics Vet Dr Jayne Weller has helped many bird owners confront, so she was well-prepared with a mix of solutions when she joined us recently on VETtalk ‘Live’ to answer caller Wendy Herne's questions.
Wendy is a long-time listener/contributor and has a menagerie of birds, chickens and even a duck called Dorothy that went AWOL recently... You can listen to that story here!
