I have a female budgie who does not appear to be able to lay eggs. I've had her for a few years now. She will sit in a nest box during the season and only come out for a feed. There has never been a sign of eggs, eaten or otherwise. She has had a couple of mates, who have both given up on her and found themselves another bird. I have never seen her mating (I could have missed this) and wonder whether her hormones are not quite right??? Real shame, as she is a beautiful purple bird.

I have a similar hen which does not allow cocks near her. I guess it's just like human, some are unable to reproduce.

Thanks, that's how I looked at it. She's a nice fat hen in comparison to the others who look at bit exhausted this time of the year, I suppose there are advantages!
