My little dino has laid her fist egg. She is 11 years old and not a breeder bird (I have no experience and don't think it's a good idea for me to do it, besides she's an only bird though not the only pet as we have a small dog and a cat). I have absolutely no place to bed her down early to discourage laying, and am willing to let her keep her litt;e eggs until she loses interest, in the hopes that allowing her to keep her clutch will discourage her from laying more. I know nutrition right now is essential and I have that handled, but what should I do about the eggs? Somehow just letting them rattle about on the floor of her cage doesn't seem correct. What would be appropriate nesting material, and does she need a box? I fear her cage won't handle anything heavy. she has demolished the sheet I kept over her cage, yanking it through the bars into a corner and tearing at it. It had been a daily battle of the sheet, with her pullimg it in and me removing it a couple of times a day. In hindsight I should have realized what was happening and prepared sooner. Any advice?
