calcium problem

by Mina
(Jordan)

hi my cockatiel has been laying eggs for awhile now and no matter what we do she keeps laying them. she has been sitting on 2 eggs for awhile now and this morning shes had a third. shes had a total of 5-6 eggs now. 'she' used to be a 'he' until some months ago but she is atleast 7 years old.

now she is having trouble using her legs and though she can fly she cant keep her balance, and i can tell she needs calcium. im trying to feed her calcium rich things but she seems to prefer chewing cardbourd instead.

ive even crushed some calcium blocks and slipped them in to some food and water, is that alright? what can i do for her? she looks healthy cuddled up but then she tries to get up and falls flat on her face. please help, shes ive had her for more than 7 years.
