Update on Guira Cuckoo

After about two weeks of incubation we noticed egg shells on the floor one morning. When we took a closer look in the nest there was no chick and we realised the egg was discarded from the nest. All the other eggs later proved to be infertile. This is the second time this has happened and we have decided to take the male to a vet for a check-up as it seems that this must be the problem.

This must be real disappointing Tinus.It seems to be a common problem especially amongst finches.
We really need to get to the bottom of this. Do let us know what the vet says.
