Question
i received a cocatiel two years ago. i have only the one bird. last week she started laying eggs. about one every other day. is this normal? is there anything i need to do? thanks

Answer
Dear Anita,
Your Cockatiel is a female, and even without a mate female Cockatiels still lay eggs. But the eggs are not going to hatch. What I would do is keep the eggs in the cage until your Cockatiel has lost interest in the eggs. This egg laying is normal.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Good Luck!
Carly
