Mouse, I honestly don't care if you breed your birds or not, I just am surprised you keep starting these "surprised" threads about your birds breeding. I offered a simple solution in your first thread....remove the eggs or separate the birds.
I just think it's a little ironic that you talk all the time about saving animals and then let your birds reproduce. :shrug: But hey, that's just my opinion.
I will not kill innocent lives, to me they are alive if they are fertile. That is just me. I can't bring myself to do it. To me it is no different than having an abortion.
Once they are hatched I will do what I can to stop the breeding. I am even considering driving all the way to Baltimore with the female birds and having them spayed. Depends on how much it is. I am not rolling in money.
People have a tendency of bringing me their animals because they can't take care of them anymore and that's how I end up with more than one of something and get into this mess.
I started out with one cockatiel as an anniversary present from my husband.
My hair dresser asked me if I wanted another one, and because I am one of those people who cannot say no I ended up with the second one.
THEN my friend, who should be slapped stupid, brought me this Lovebird that she hand raised from a baby because it BIT her and she does not deal with animals that bite.
So then it happened again, someone found out I had a lovebird and said hey I have a young lovebird will you take it. Glutten for punishment that I am I took it in because I didn't want it homeless.
My friends lovebird was still a baby, so again, we didn't know what sex it was to. So I was secretly hoping I would get lucky and they would be the same sex. No such luck, so you see how my life goes, it snowballs on me all the fricken time. I'm sorry if I offend you I don't mean to.
The scorpion I was seriously lied to. I was told she was a year old when I got her. I have had her just over a year. Apparently they can hold sperm inside them until the time is right and let themselves get pregnant when conditions are favorable. Also she is not 1 because they have to be at least 3 to be sexually mature. So I get lied to a lot! What can I say, I am a softy and I take in unwanted animals and I am the one that ends up getting screamed at and called out because people don't like what they think they are seeing.
I won't post about my animals anymore, don't ask me to take anymore either because I'm sick of catching hell for trying to help and ending up screwed in the end. I am in debt up to my ass and then some because of all my animals but NONE of them do without and they all have the very best I can give!
