This is SO wrong!
The male parakeet fertilizes the hen, BEFORE the eggs are developed INSIDE the hen.
The first answer is ridiculous!

Hilary, birds do not fertilize eggs. Bird eggs are either fertile or infertile at the time they are laid. The male copulates with the female. Not exactly penetration but close to it. Not that much different than most animals...including human beings.
