This much egg-laying isn't good for a bird. It often runs down their health. A bird can also become egg-bound - not a good thing!
There are some things that you can do to help her stop laying so many eggs.
First, remove any nesting area or materials from her cage that might be causing her to nest and lay eggs.
Also - the amount of sunlight she is getting every day affects her wanting to lay eggs. (Can't remember the details on that!)
Many people remove the eggs almost immediately. Others replace the eggs with one of the little artifical similar eggs from a craft store.
Here's what you need to do. Go to BirdTalk.com. There is a forum there that has hundreds of posts about the exact problem you are having.
Believe me - many of the people on BirdTalk are the experts you are looking for, and they can certainly help you with this problem.
PS: I have a 9-month old Sun Conure (about the same size as your cockatiel) I don't know if it's a male or female. So, I may have an egg or two in my future. But for sure, the number of eggs your little bird is laying -- is not healthy!
Good luck!
