cockatiel laying eggs

Question
hi,
I have a female cockatiel n i have it for the past six months. It is single n does not have a male. In december 2 mths back it laid an egg . The eggshell was very soft n so we threw it away she did not lay a second egg after that.
But on feb 3rd she again laid an egg, n another egg after 48 hrs . She has been laying eggs after every 48 to 55 hrs(like every alternate day). She has given 6 eggs till now and she is sitting on them.
I have had pigeons n few of them had died while laying eggs n im afraid if she continues to lay eggs she will fall sick. I read that a cockatiel lays about 4 to 6 eggs. what do i do to stop her from laying more eggs. should i let her sit on the eggs or remove them .   I have a cuttlebone in her cage n i have given her cuprum metallicum, hydrastis, n arsenicum album  in her water bowl so that she does not have a problem in giving the egg.This time her eggs are not soft n she is eating well  but she is panting and breathing heavily for a few minutes after laying eggs. will it harm her health if she lays more than six eggs? is there a homeo remedy for unwanted egg laying in birds. I know there are certain hormone medicines but they are harmful for the liver of the birds n weight problems also exist. So do u know of any alternative medicines to stop excessive egg laying. please advice. I even have a pigeon who becomes very weak while laying eggs and she keeps laying eggs all the time even if she is kept seperate from her male.
thank you,
naqshpa.

Answer
I do not know of homeopathic remedy that would stop them. Remedies act by correcting an energy imbalance, and this may be normal.

However, I am not an expert with birds, so I would suggest you pay for a consult with a homeopathic veterinarian who specializes in birds. Two are:
Dr. Ramelmeier - 410-531-9213 (east coast)
Dr. YEarout  425-334-8171 (west coast)

They may have different knowledge than I about how to stop the egg laying, even if not with homeopathy.
