Yes, geese do need to eat while laying on their eggs, but they typically minimize their feeding during the incubation period. Female geese often leave the nest briefly to forage for food, usually returning quickly to ensure the eggs remain warm. Adequate nutrition is important for the health of both the mother and the developing embryos. However, the instinct to protect the nest takes precedence, so they may only feed intermittently.

A birds laying is regulated by the number of hours in a day. When natural light is all they have, egg production slows and stops based on the number of daylight hour available. In most areas, peak nesting activity is April/May. In the late summer and early fall, daylight hours are reduced. Wild geese stop laying egg clutches by early July. Goose egg incubation takes 34 days and the raising of the clutch takes 10 weeks following hatch. Goslings in the wild need to be fledged prior to winter temperatures arrival.

You don't. Parakeets are birds. They do not get pregnant, as reproduction is done through the laying of eggs. The eggs take about three weeks to form properly in the body, but this is not called "pregnancy". They look the same when they are laying eggs as when they aren't. In other words, birds don't "hold" their eggs inside their bodies and they do not show a big belly to indicate that eggs are on the way. Birds which are getting close to laying an egg become more lively, excitable and playful. You need to provide it with a nesting box in its cage.
