Anyone else have a Cockatiel? I have an egg-laying question!
Our bird Aussie...she's 2 1/2 has been constantly laying eggs...will lay 2 or 3, then do it over again in about 3 weeks. Is this normal?

My previous Cockatiel, Piper, would only lay eggs twice a week. Problem with Aussie is, when she is laying eggs, she is very protective of them and wants nothing to do with us and will "attack" us for a good 24 hrs or so after we remove the egg. (We don't have a male.) Obviously, this is not fun.

Any info would be great!
