Question

Jessica Desrosiers · Accepted Answer

Birds are naturally messy by nature and will poop in food and water dishes if not appropriately covered or protected. Switching to a dish that limits how much water is available at once (to avoid all of it becoming contaminated) or adding in a bath that the birds can bathe in (and will probably poop in) in addition to their water can help keep it cleaner. Parakeet eggs take about 17-20 days to hatch if properly incubated. They will also change from a translucent to a more opaque white as they mature.
