Hi my 4 year old female laid one egg 3 days ago. She is in a cardboard box with little nesting material as she wouldn’t go in there once I added shredded paper. She slept in the box the first night and has been going in periodically to sit on the single egg, although after the first night she has slept in her cage away from the egg. She will not let the male near the nest, although he did go in without her and did not sit on the egg. ( just sniffed it a few times) I’m not sure what to do next as this hasn’t happened before. I don’t know if it’s fertilized as I have not seen them mate.
Any help would be appreciated.
Tracy

I have the nesting box in the cage with the male bird . Do I need to remove the box away from him and put them in a cage by their selves with their mother ?
