I am posting this for someone else and no nothing about birds so please
be as detailed as possible with any replies (and please email me as I 
don't read about birds that often).

A friend of mine has a young parakeet that is constantly laying eggs.  She
apparently sticks her rear end waaaay away from her perch and just lets them
drop wherever.  She's laying a bunch of them and the owners were concerned 
that somehow her system was going to get depleted or she was going to get
bound up trying to lay an egg and poop at the same time (apparently she
has gigantic poops, almost as big as the eggs).

The family has never had a bird before and I think they got it from a petshop
and since she is so young they were going to take her back, but I told them
I'd post and see what everyone had to say.

	Thankyou in advance,

	Pam and friends.
