parrot lays eggs often, but they always turn out white after one week.

Male carpintis(wild caught) 6 inches, had it a year ago when it was 5in.
female parrot 4.5 inches, been keeping it for 2 years at least, but has never grown.
Is it the carpintis infertile/lack experience, or the female is infertile?

Either the eggs are non-viable or the male is shooting blanks. Or, the two species are inhibited from crossing due to a genetic mismatch.
aren't they suppose to produce red texas:confused:
 
When they turn white that means they have gone bad, when they are a brownish colour that means they are fertile.

BP are usuallu infertile and rarley produce fry. It's extremely hard to breed parrots. What size tank have you got them in?

The main question is, have the parrot and Texas paired up? It could be that the female parrot is laying eggs and not allowing the Texas to fertilize the eggs. Most female parrots are fertile, it is the male blood parrots that are around 90 something percent infertile....

Male guards the flowerpot aggressively, but the female parrot always attack him when the male tried approaching the tank.
 
BP are quite fertile actually, I think it's just the male. Female BP can have success breeding, it's the male BP that isn't infertile.
