Fake or dummy eggs will help stop or minimize egg laying. Simply slip a few of these in the nest box when your small Parrot lays her first egg. These eggs are reusable over and over. You can also replace the natural egg with a fake egg to prevent it from hatching. Never remove eggs as they are laid. This will encourage your Parrot to continue to lay more. After 26 to 29 days your Parrot should be ready to leave her nest and it is safe to remove all eggs. Parrotlets, Budgies, Lovebirds and similar smaller Parrots lay approximately 4 to 9 eggs.
