Do you still have the egg shell?

It might show who the egg was from.
and hi!

yeah I have it. It's broken almost in half. It's a little bigger than a quarter. I'd think that would hurt a whole heck of a lot if it were the lovebirds...and I wouldn't get how it could have had an egg when it was in the lorikeets cage. I was watching it like a hawk....I am just in shock!

So I can tell. If you can tell the list what the shell looks like, you might get a beter idea of who droped the egg.
Or google what eggs of loves and lonikeets look like.
I know I would be shocked if a bird that I was told was a boy droped a egg.

Hi there, welcome back.

The egg all the way on the left is a tiel egg, the one next to it is a lovebird egg... I'd say smaller then a quarter:

I really would not trust them together even supervised. Things can escalate really quickly, especially with two species known for their aggression towards other species and with lories being so darn fast. Just my two cents.

Good luck with your hen! It can be so weird when we suddenly realize they are a different gender then we thought!

Thank you for your comment and the picture. It's the lorikeet's egg. I'd say he is about the size of a cockatiel. Yay I knew I loved this group.
