My adult female "Maya" became egg bound after laying only 12 eggs. I gave her 48 hours but she only managed 2 more in that time. It was obvious she had a lot more, so I took her to Broward Avian and Exotic where they gave her a calcium injection. She then managed to lay 11 and then 18 more for a total of 43. I was very pleased that they didn't rush into surgery and would recommend them to anyone in Broward county, FL
