: Hi, I have a pair of roller canaries, after the initial get aquainted time we put them together and everything seemed to go well. They bred, she layed 3 eggs. I put in nesting food and egg biscuits. Everything seemed to be going fine, he fed her etc, then one day we found an egg at the bottom of the cage, and then another, until there was no more. We thought we used the wrong kind of nesting materials, we used polyfill. So we changed to cotton. They built another nest and did the same thing all over. Things seemed to be going well then we found one egg on the bottom. The other 2 remained, then they bred and she laid one more egg. I'm not sure what I need to do different, or what I'm doing wrong. I would appreciate some advise. Thank You
I don't know what polyfil is, but you don't want to use cotton. The best nestling material is threads from burlap bags (about 4 inches long).
ALL cage birds should be sprayed every week with an avian pyrethrin insecticide.
