Question
Is it natural for a female cockateil to lay eggs even though she doesn't have a
mate? Because my bird already laid 2 eggs and I don't know what to do with my
bird nor the eggs. What should I do?

Answer
its very normal the breeding drive is so high in birds they either in the case of males mate with toys/hands/hair/perches and in the case of females lay eggs shred paper and get agressive...you sohuld leave the eggs with her until she is ignoring them because if you remove them sooner she will relay to replace them.
