Stop Egg Laying! 1" x 3/4" / 24 x 20 mm Dummy Eggs for Cockatiel, Quaker, Green Cheek, Lorikeet & Ringneck Dove are designed and manufactured exclusively by DummyEggs in the United States with a realistic shape, weight, color and feel. Your bird will happily sit on them & never know you have replaced her real eggs. Detailed instructions are included. Dummy eggs are solid non-toxic plastic, virtually indestructible, machine washable, reusable. We recommend you use 7 eggs, more than the average number of 6 eggs laid by Cockatiel, Quaker & Green Cheek. Put all 7 in a small flat bowl where ever your hen is acting broody or has laid eggs. BIRDS COUNT THEIR EGGS! Hens start building their clutch by laying until she has the proper number of eggs for her species. Her DNA tells her exactly how many eggs she should lay, extra eggs will be pushed out of the nest. Dummy eggs inhibit your bird from laying eggs to replace ones that have been removed or broken. And because they are plastic, they won’t hatch! Replace the real eggs and relax. We want her to think she has completed laying all the real eggs she is supposed to. This is what signals her hormones to turn off. It is better to have too many eggs than too few. Many birds, male and female, break their eggs and then keep replacing them. This leads to calcium depletion and health concerns. Dummy Eggs cannot stop your bird from ever laying another egg, but work very effectively to control the number of eggs she will lay in each cycle and in her lifetime. Your bird can now sit on her fake eggs until she loses interest in 2 - 3 weeks. Cockatiel Avg. Clutch 6 / Incubation 18 - 21 days. Quaker Avg. Clutch 6 / Incubation 18 - 21 days Green Cheek Avg. Clutch 5 / Incubation 23 days. Ringneck Dove Avg. Clutch 2

Worked
They did the job. I think they were too expensive for what they are. But it was an emergency and I couldn’t find false eggs in the right size anywhere else that would come fast enough. So if I had planned ahead for our bird being female I could have saved some money but it’s okay.. Our cockatiel laid only two eggs instead of 6+ after putting these in the cage so it did the job and probably shortened her time of being broody.

Cockateil eggs
I thought it was great and realistic however, my two female cockateils did not and kept throwing the eggs out of the nest. It was worth a shot.

Size is important here.
