Follow directions for application on the container. Some sprays can be used directly on the bird (avoiding the eyes, nose and mouth), others cannot. Clean and sanitize her cage, bowls, perches and toys. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Change the cage paper or substrate daily. Provide a mineral block, pumice stone or cuttlebone to maintain beak length. Your avian veterinarian can trim the beak if necessary. Concrete or textured perches can also be used as they promote healthy feet as well as provide natural beak trimming opportunity.

It would be hard to tell if it is OK or not without an exam in person. It could be the bird is just stressed out from the day's activity, however, with wild animals it is best to try and find a vet that will see them, or a local wildlife rehab in your area that will take the bird in, examine it, treat it, and re-release it in the wild.

I think a 3-day wait is long enough. If no eggs have been produced by tonight you need to seek the assistance of an avian veterinarian. Sunny may very well be egg bound. Your vet can make the diagnosis and provide the appropriate treatment.

Hello. If you can fit the original cage in your car, that would be best. You have a relatively short trip, so I do not think this will be overly stressful for him. Remove the food & water, make sure the cage is well anchored in case you have to hit the breaks & cover the cage with a light sheet. At your destination, place the cage in the quietest room possible & try to keep curious family members from attempting to engage your bird. Try to keep to your normal schedule with Sunny as much as possible & everyone should do great. Have a good visit & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Thanks for reaching out. Birds typically lay eggs first thing in the morning, therefore an egg laid in the evening is delayed. This could be due to illness, egg binding, malnutrition and other. The best answer is to see a veterinarian. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give support. Offering water through a syringe for hydration. If coelom (abdomen) is swollen, she still could be egg bound. Placing in a steamy bathroom for 5-10 minutes could help. Review diet as calcium deficiencies often play a part in egg binding, so dark leafy greens should be part of the diet. Good luck.
