I have an ~8yr old Lovebird that has been laying eggs annually for about 6 years now.  However, this is the fourth time this year she has laid a batch of eggs.  She laid four at Christmas of 2008, four more mid Feb, another four at the end of May... and now she is laying again and has three so far.

I realize that this may be taxing on her health, but she is doing fine so far.  They are unfertile eggs (just a male cockatiel in the house).  But I don't know how to get her to STOP!  I don't give her nesting materials, or a nesting box.

Any suggestions??

You said you give no nesting things Where is she laying them?

This can help in stopping this.
Also changing the cage around weekly when you do the weekly deep clean.
I rotate out toys and move perches around.

Limiting protein in the diet,also not offering a happy hut or anything of that nature.

There are also as said medications they can give to chronic layers. Until you get it under control be sure she has Lot of calcium.


There are some posts about it here too. [url=http://www.lovebirdsplus.com/community/index.php][/url]

Good Luck
