Is a Shivering, Lethargic Parrot Just Cold?

The Turtle Egg-Laying Process
Mature females lay eggs whether or not they mated, but unfertilized eggs won't hatch. Laying is seasonal: in China, May-September with a June-August peak; best at 25-32°C air / 28-30°C water, stopping above 35°C. Females mate after ~8 years; before laying they grow restless, dig, and smell stronger.

Rinse the mouth if a strong-tasting substance caused it.
