bird eggs

Hi my bird is laying eggs for the second time. its been a month now and she still hasn't gotten bored of laying the eggs. the last time she laid her eggs, she stopped laying them after a few weeks. Is it possible to throw the eggs away or keep it there?

If she's currently sitting on the eggs or tending to them, it's best to leave the eggs with her until she's bored with them and has shown no interest in them for about 2 weeks. Then you can remove them. You might want to invest in some fake eggs in the future however.

Fake eggs

A craft store such as Michaels. I wouldn't leave the real ones in for too long or they will begin to smell.

Fake eggs should actually prevent her from laying more eggs... But she should only have them for about 30 days or until she gets board of them. There are some online stores that sell fake eggs too. You should only give her the fake eggs though if you see her starting to lay eggs.
