They can, but the egg will obviously not have an embryo inside. This laying causes an incredible amount of stress to the bird, so she must receive calcium supplements. If the egg is removed from the nest/cage, she will likely lay another one, so some pet stores or bird specialty stores carry fake eggs to put in, that won't rot like real eggs, and that will lower the likelihood of her laying more.

∙ 14y agoYes, they can, and it is sometimes a very common occurrence with females who are in season and have a strong desire to nest. They don't even build a nest;they ju lay them on the cage floor! When this happens it's best to let her sit on the eggs for a week or so and then remove them. If you remove them earlier she'll be prompted by instinct to lay more. The n your remove it again, and she lays more eggs and so on and so on. And tehn she'll have a vitamin C deficiency and that means trouble.

∙ 13y agoIt's perfectly normal for parakeets to lay eggs without mating, the eggs are just infertile. Like hens lay eggs without roosters.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoA female parakeet can lay an egg without a male, but it will not be fertilized, therefore the egg will not hatch. So, yes, a female parakeet does need a male to "hatch" an egg.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, although I've heard that they lay empty eggs when there's no mate. But they have to be a certain age. :S Hope i helped

∙ 15y agoYes. Even if they do not mate the female will lay an egg regardless of proper nesting enclosures being present. Though if healthy hatchlings are intended, a nesting box should be installed.
