..and he is STILL setting! On the plus side..I'm not worrying about him getting into too much trouble. I do worry about his appetite not being what it was but I'm thinking that he's not expending the same energy as when he's grossing out the neighborhood!

Wonder when he will get bored and give it up? Better yet what if it actually hatched, if it were an egg. Would the male take care of the little one if the female wasn't around??

He could be a Surrogate Parrot.
Joking aside, for example. Unique among Rose-Breasted Cockatoos, they have a Nursery type of Hierarchy within the flock dynamics, tending to each others Fledglings. And sitting on eggs.
That is one of the many reasons the Galah has been so prolific in their adaptability to civilization encroaching on their habitat. Whereas other species are endangered.

Amigo has been slowly losing interest in setting on a 100 degree egg/shell, I moved it off into the garden yesterday. It's been hovering around 110 for the past few days and even though his cage and shell are in the shade,, it's freakin' HOT! He still insists on being outside but I'll drag his complaining, panting body in during the hottest part of the day and let him back out after around 6:00pm for a couple of hours.
My daughter suggested giving him a fertile chicken's egg, a few weeks ago, but the fact that I brought him in to eat and sleep..it could never work..I told her,,end of subject!
