Can I put eggs in nest to prevent from laying any eggs at all?

NO. We are a rescue center for birds that works with the humane society. 1. Put your bird to bed early, by 5 or 6:00 p.m. 2. Keep your bird away from dark, enclosed spaces. 3. Keep your bird away from other birds to which she is bonded. 4. Discourage breeding behavior in your bird. Some birds will display breeding behaviors with their favorite person, such as vent-rubbing, tail lifting, or regurgitating food. Discourage these behaviors by putting your bird back in her cage for a “time out” whenever she displays them. Don’t pet your bird on her back or under her tail, as this can be sexually stimulating. 5.Remove your bird’s “love-toys”. Some single birds will display mating behaviors with objects in their environment, such as food cups, toys, perches, or mirrors. 6. Rearrange the cage interior and change the cage location. Your bird is more likely to lay eggs in a cage that hasn’t changed in a while. Putting your bird in a different cage and/or changing the cage location can help discourage laying. 7. Give your bird optimal nutrition and provide full spectrum light. Producing and laying eggs robs your bird of the vitamins, proteins, and calcium she needs to stay healthy. It is especially crucial during the breeding season that she is on a complete and balanced diet, 8. Avoid removing the eggs which your bird has already laid. Sometimes the easiest way to turn off the egg-laying cycle is to allow your bird to sit on her eggs. If your bird lays a few eggs and then sits on them, leave the eggs in the cage for 21 days or until she loses interest. If however she does not stop at 3 – 4 eggs and continues laying, this strategy may not work, and you should call your avian veterinarian for further suggestions. 9. Ask your veterinarian about hormone injections. In certain cases of excessive egg-laying, your veterinarian may recommend hormone injections in addition to the above environmental and dietary changes. 10.When in doubt, ask your avian veterinarian. If you have questions or concerns regarding your bird’s health.

Does this size and color work for regular size green cheek conures? What are the chances Mama bird will reject these or not even notice? Tx

I have worked bird rescue with the Humane Society for the past 30 years. The best way to answer your question is; all humans are not alike, that also goes for our feathered friends.This product works fairly well with our sun conure and other birds. Try to buy the right size. Our conure wanted babies badly. Our avian vet informed us not to removed her fake eggs too soon, or she would continue to lay which could be a problem. Make sure that you place the right amount of eggs a clutch has under your hen while she is off the nest. Replace them as she lays them. She will become disinterested in them in her own time. As long as she is eating regular, great! Also keep watch on her stool and general health. Offer her time out with you but let her return to her eggs when she wants back. Hope this is a help.
