IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS: Leave fake eggs in nest until hen has no interest in them. You can just put them in all at once and take out the real ones. The sooner and the more eggs the better, but try not to let the birds see you do it. Put in the number of eggs that she would lay in a clutch, plus more. She will reject the ones she does not want. YOUR BIRD WILL KEEP LAYING UNTIL SHE HAS THE NUMBER OF EGGS SHE NEEDS IN HER NEST AT ONCE. Cockatiels usually need 6 or more fake plastic eggs. Fertilized eggs hatch in 21 days and another clutch can follow. It is best to leave the eggs in for as long as it takes, which could be months, before your hen looses interest in them. Bonded pairs, male and female, will take turns sitting the eggs. They will defend their nest from intruders, so watch out when changing food and water daily. I have found a wide heavy shallow bowl placed at the bottom of the cage works nicely because I can see them and keep everything clean. Mama Bird comes out of her cage occasionally and takes her giant nesting poop, which is 4 times the size of the regular poop, don’t be alarmed. Poppa Bird, will sit the eggs when Mama’s on break and sings to her. Most birds will not notice slight changes in size, color, shape, or texture. If it looks close to their egg they will generally accept it and do not notice the difference when the swap is made. A cover at night makes birds feel safe and secure to sit their nest in peace. A fresh sprig of millet and fresh cuttle bone will make for very happy birds. — Melanie Please email questions to: theEggShop@comcast.net |

RECENT FEEDBACK: “I need the cockatiel size. I had five for four years and had no problem, then last summer I had 27 eggs and they all hatched (the birds were supposed to be all male). I hand raised them all - it was exhausting. I found homes for many but I still have the original five plus ten babies, and I sure as heck don't want any more. They are a trip, but one experience was enough!” Sandy“Hi, again! So far your eggs are doing the trick! However, I didn't think I had this many males!! I've got six pairs brooding, so I need more eggs! But at least I won't go through what I did last year. You're a life saver!” Sandy
“Hello Melanie, They actually arrived yesterday! I can report it looks like they are going to work out just fine. I just put them under one of my nesting 'tiels and she jumped back in her "nest" and is happily nesting away. I just wish I had these around years ago. Thanks!” DC
“Thank you Melanie. My pigeon has laid eggs in both the medium and small parrot size so I think a combo of will do the trick. Thank you again for all of your help. Customer service like you offer does not happen much in today's world.” Nancy
Hi Melanie,
Just to let you know that the NY Bird Club does not advocate breeding -- this is why we recommend your company - for birth control.
Thanks for your great eggs, Anna Manhattan Bird Club THANK YOU. First of all, my husband now knows I'm NOT out of my mind, that this is indeed what I'm supposed to do, and secondly, I can stop searching through junk drawers and closets for little plastic egg decoys. You have saved my sanity! Kristy H. It's important now as Alaska is swinging into our spring mode where we are rapidy (about five minutes more a day) getting more daylight after coming out of our famous "24 hour midnight" syndrome. Birds are hormonal and the need to breed behavior is beginning. I'm excited to be able to give Alaskans an option, a ray of hope and hopefully see the decline in the smaller birds dying from calcium depletion due to the ignorance of people yanking the eggs as soon as they are laid. It's an amazing fact people don't seem to realize when dealing with unwanted eggs- fertile or not. When I send your link and flyer out, I will remind people of that fact, which is why leaving an egg in the next is Hi Mel, Thank you so much for expediting the eggs, which I happily received today. I'm really new at all this, so you and your website have been very helpful. Before I, myself experienced the need for the fake eggs, a friend of mine was searching for them and I started to help her search and I found you and she ordered eggs from you. Now it was my turn. I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of this, your helpfulness and caring are actually felt. Thank you again. Best, Simone I ordered the lovebird ones last week - thank you for sending them so quickly. I just got a pair of rescued doves last week. They must be happy here because we have eggs! I do animal rescue (cats, guinea pigs and now birds...). I definately don't want any extra pets! Nor do I want to contribute to the overpopulation of homeless pets. I am so happy I found your site! Thank you for what you do! Cathy Juba
