511.0. "2-1/2 month Teil Laying Eggs?" by CSOA1::DIRRMAN () Tue Mar 12 1991 08:32

    
    	I have 5 tiels - 2 pair I am trying to mate - and a 2-1/2
    	month tiel. Now - each pair is in thier own cage - and
    	Smokie (the baby) is in her own gage. I was even guessing
    	that She was a He as she was making the mating noises like
    	my other two males - and was sooo verbal. Ok - "SHE" layed an
    	egg last night - sitting on my husband (He really loved that!).
    	No straining - just plop. Isn't that a little young?? Of course my
    	two other females haven't done a thing! I put the egg in with one
    	of the couples trying to stimulate them. They are all loose
    	when we are at home - so Smokie could have gotten with one of the
    	males - but I realy don't think so. I keep on coming back to
    	ISN'T SHE AWFULLY YOUNG??? I sure didn't read anything like this
    	in any of the 5 books I have read so far!
    
    	Anyone else ever have this experience?
    
    		Thanks!

    Are you ***sure*** of the age?  An obvious question, but someone had
    to ask....  Seems awfully young to me too.   /Linda C.

    --- YEP - I was there the day after she was born - December 26th. I
    am friends with the breeder - so I got to play with her every couple
    of days - so I watched her grow. Sure is wierd! My breeder friend said
    	she had never seen anything like it. I realy don't know what
    	to do with her - I am so worried that she might hurt herself.
    	Nature sure is funny!
