Laura, If your Sun Conure is 5 years old, she's plenty old
enough to breed. If she's laying infurtile eggs, you will
need to make sure that she has a calcium perch or block as
it is essential for her now, whether she has a male or not.
Calcium will keep her from depleting her calcium level. She
may need other vitamins or a better diet as well. Make sure
that she stays healty and remember if you do breed her,
there's a lot more to it than you think... Connie
