FOIBURELY 8 Pcs Solid Parrot Plastic Eggs Hatching Eggs Green Cheek, Lorikeet&Ringneck Dove, Quaker, Cockatiel. Trick The Birds to Stop Laying Eggs, Plastic Eggs

So far these have fooled my cockatiel who is laying on them. Please see photo of the faux egg on the left and the real cockatiel egg on the right.

If you have female cockatiel and she lays eggs, the only thing you need to do to stop her is increase the duration of sleep/darkness. Minimum of 12 hours maximum 14 hours. Preferably in a quiet room with no interruptions.My birds wouldn’t stop laying, from spring to fall, even with these fake eggs.As soon as I set up second cage in spare bedroom and put them on 12.5-13 hour dark sleep (w nightlight) they both stopped and haven’t acted hormonal since.These eggs are not what you want as it doesn’t stop the hormonal cycle, the fake eggs only pacify the bird for a short time.I bought these thinking it would stop my birds who both laid eggs last summer, but it didn’t, only short term.You have to stop the hormonal cycle which is determined by light duration… good luck

The eggs were the perfect size for our Cockatiel.

We got this product previously but we stored it wrong and it molded that's why I bought another set. The size is a little bit bigger than my cockatiel's egg but the dummy eggs worked and made her think it's actually her eggs. Good buy overall.

Our birds didn't accept these at first, but as I slowly replaced hers with these one at a time, she decided to sit on them instead. Good size and weight, color a little whiter than our bird's eggs (but that could vary from one hen to another). Very slight seam where the plastic molds meet; perhaps that was what caused her to ignore them at first.

These are to keep your small female birds from overlaying eggs and getting egg bound which is vey dangerous and life threatening. I don’t remember if it came with exact directions or not but please look up how to properly use them. If your female lays an egg do NOT remove it. As she has her eggs you will slowly substitute a real egg for one of these imitation eggs, if you took her eggs away she will lay more which will be very taxing on her body. Let her keep sitting on the eggs until she decides that they are not going to hatch and leaves them alone and then you can remove all the imitation eggs and save them for when it happens again. The real eggs are not viable. Females will lay eggs without mating. These are used for a cockatiel. An extra tip; if your bird ever becomes “egg bound”, meaning they can not pass an egg and it is stuck NEVER try to remove the egg as it will crack inside of her. Put some olive or coconut oil around the area and get her to your avian vet immediately. So I recommend that you DEFINITELY buy these eggs for the SAFETY of your bird. It could be life or death for real. If people who care buy these Amazon should be constantly having to restock. Enjoy your feathered friends, Amazon customers!

These eggs are so similar in shape/size and coloration to my GCC's first egg that I had to give a review the same day I received them in the mail. They are substantial, too - sturdy little things that won't wear out any time soon.My husband has already swapped out the egg with Church's real egg, and she seems none the wiser 4 hours later. For anyone wondering, we decided to order these to avoid any potential issues that can occur with egg laying, especially with this being her (and our) first time around. I'm so happy with the quality and item count for the price.I have to add that delivery being next day is fantastic because we (naively?) hoped that we'd get to skip that "becoming a lady" part although we have 2 female GCCs... but now we have enough fake eggs to swap multiple clutches if Church's "sister" starts laying as well!

Purchased after our 2 year old cockatiel began laying eggs. Vet recommended taking precautions to prevent her from laying often or even ever again because it is quite risky for cockatiels to get an egg stuck while trying to lay. One of the recommended ways to help prevent is by placing false eggs inside her cage near the original spot she laid her first ones. These feel very realistic- same weight, texture and shade of white as the ones our bird laid so very easy to use to trick her into believing she already laid enough.
