Sun Conure

Question
My conure has been exhibiting nesting behavior for some time now.  Two days
ago she made a "nest" with a few shredded clothesline fuzzes, moved a small
toy into the "nest" and is sitting on it!  How long should I allow this behavior to
go on before removing the "egg"?  Herbie (obviously misnamed) is in good
health and still leaves the "nest" periodically to eat.

Answer
Hi, Jody,

Allow this behavior to continue until the bird abandons her "egg" in her own time.  To remove the toy now could result in behaviorial problems, stress, etc.  She'll eventually realize the toy isn't going to hatch and give it all up.
