Usually when they sit on the bottom they are sick. If she's "fat" she may not be getting the right food or enough exercise. She might have a serious respiratory illness. Maybe she just looks fat because her feathers are all fluffed up. If she's laying an egg you can pick her up and feel it underneath by her tail. Sometimes birds get "egg bound" and need help passing an egg. Normally a bird lays an egg in the place she's chosen to keep it safe. She'll go back there when it's time to lay the next one. When she's done with that batch or "clutch" of eggs she'll start to sit on them. Usually there needs to be a male around to get her working on eggs in the first place. Birds should always be loved and fed well but when they lay they need extra protein. If you have a bird that is laying eggs, fertile or not, they need extra protein. Do more research on line and make sure she gets what she needs.

What if your parakeet laid one egg in the nesting box does that mean it is not fetile even if you have a male and a female bird?

Well, it sort of depends. If the female is laying/sitting on the egg that might mean it is fertile, but only if she is either trained or knows how to do that. But sometimes, the egg will be fertile, but the female won't know what to do, so she won't sit on it. Also, do you let your bird mate, because if you do the egg will most likely be fertile.


When does the parakeet eggs come out?

If it is a single parakeet--leave the egg in the cage till it gets cracked.this is suppose to discourage from laying more.


Why is my parakeet not knowing she is laying eggs?

She knows, she just doesn't care. Egg laying is more biological, the body doing what it is meant to do. Taking care of the eggs is mental, some birds are just not the mothering type. If there is not a male to fertilize the eggs, she may realize that there is no point in sitting on them.

Can sleeping on your back make your bottom flat?

No. Human bottoms are, believe it or not, natural cushions. All apes (humans included) and most monkeys have a rounded, fleshy bottom, which is designed for sitting and laying on, for comfort. You cannot make it flat by laying on it. If you want to tone your bottom, look up toning exercises at the local gym.
