parrotlet eggs

Question
My female parrotletjust laid a clutch of 4 eggs.  I have no malefor her to breed with.  She is now sitting on them as they are to hatch.  When would be a good time to take the eggs out of the cage, as I do not think that they are fertile since there is no male.  This is my first bird that I have had to lay eggs.  Thanks for any help.

Answer
Hi, Anthony.  Thanks for posting!

Your female is laying infertile eggs.  Leave them where she has laid them and let her abandon them on her own.  Once she abandons them, you can remove and destroy them.  If you remove them before she abandons them, she might start laying again.  Be sure she has cuttlebone available.
