Question
can i stimulate my blue and gold macaw to lay an egg?

Answer
Why would you want to do this? A bird engaging in egg laying is at high risk for egg binding which can be fatal; calcium deficiency; paralysis and other complications that are so serious most people do everything they can to prevent egg laying.
