What the fuuuuuck. I've had these birds over 10 years and no eggs and suddenly today I look down in the cage and there are 2 eggs staring back at me :psyduck:

I don't want to raise any new cockatiels so what do I do? Do I just take the eggs away and destroy them or is there a certain way I should go about this

'Hope' is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune, without the words, and never stops--at all.

Tiny omelette.

I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

Don't worry about it if they're just sitting alone in the cage and then hen isn't actually roosting on them. My 'tiel used to lay and then the eggs would just lie all forlorn in a corner of the bottom of the cage until I eventually removed them. A+ mothering instinct.

Don't remove them if she is interested in them, though, or she'll just lay more to replace the ones you've taken. Give them a few shakes to addle them and let her sit on them until she eventually realizes they're infertile and loses interest/eats them.

well, news development, the mother is completely disinterested in the eggs so the father is roosting them now instead :shepface:

I made sure the eggs were infertile and i'm just gonna let the birds do whatever they want with the eggs now until they get bored and then I'll get rid of them
