1st time egg-laying in 15 yr.-old conure

A friend has had a half-moon conure for 15 years, and recently it
has produced two eggs, for the first time in all those years. Is this
unusual? They took in an abandoned cockatiel about a year ago, which
is in another cage near the conure -- could this have somehow prompted
the conure's egg production? I get the impression from browsing the
archives of this group that if the egg-laying continues, that it is
very important to insure there is sufficient calcium in the conure's
diet -- correct?

Thanks in advance for any information!

You are almost correct.  Even if egg laying has stopped, it is important
that the bird's diet has sufficient calcium.

No, it's not unusual for a bird of that age to lay eggs for the first time.

Yes, the introduction of another bird may be a factor in the egg laying.

Wow, what a surprise for you to find me here.  Especially since I'm the one
who told you to check out rec.pets.birds you ignorant MF.
I'm surprised that you can take your eyes of your birds pulsating a.s long
enough to post something.

It was a decent question.  But as usual you can't get your mind out of the gutter you sad lamer.

Funny how you are calling every post you find "useless".

Useless?  I was trying to motivate you to keep being positive.  Wait...maybe
that *is* useless...

One workman asks another, "How long have you been working here?"
The other one replies, "Since they threatened to fire me."
