BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Birds Fall Budgie eggs

My little 4 yr old budgie has decided that September is agood time to lay eggs! She has laid 3 in the last 3 days. I went thru this with her this spring, and she doesn't have a boyfriend and previously she would play with the eggs like they were her ball and break them, so I just started taking them out of her cage. I shortened her daylight hours this spring and she finally stopped laying. But here we go again! She gets put to bed at 8 pm, and then uncovered at 7 am, so why is she laying now? At least this time she hasn't broken 2 of the eggs playing birdie football with them. Goofy bird!! <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
