IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS DummyEggs.com and theEggShop.com We manufacture and sell all sizes of Fake Bird Eggs to stop nesting birds from laying eggs. Our Dummy eggs are reusable egg reproductions that a nesting hen will sit on and think they are her own. Plastic Bird Eggs look and feel like the real eggs your hen laid without the eggs hatching live chicks. Fake Eggs stop chronic egg laying by supplying breeding birds enough eggs to make them think they have laid all the eggs they are suppose to. Hens start building their clutch, which is a full nest of eggs, by laying one or two eggs every other day until they have laid the number of eggs they are programmed to lay. The number of eggs laid each day varies from bird to bird. Small birds like finches, canaries, parakeets, lovebirds, quakers, and cockatiels lay a lot more eggs in their nest before they feel they are done than a large parrot does. A cockatiel lays about 6 - 9 eggs while brooding whereas a Cockatoo, Eclectus, Pionus, Congo African Gray or Macaw Parrot usually lay only 2 eggs. Often mother birds do not sit on their eggs until she has laid all of them. This way they all hatch at once. Have you ever seen 12 ducks walking behind their mother duck, she could not of laid 12 large duck eggs at the same time. Each egg a bird produces, places a great stress on her body while depleting calcium. DANGEROUS HEALTH CONDITIONS Chronic Egg Laying is a dangerous condition. This condition can result from removing eggs from the nest before her hormones tell her to stop laying eggs. Another dangerous medical condition for birds is an egg that gets stuck and cannot pass out naturally, called Egg Binding. An egg bound bird needs medical attention quickly. Some female birds produce an egg with a soft shell. This can rupture inside your hen and is another dangerous medical conditions which needs an avian veterinarian. Chronic egg laying can be the reason for soft shell eggs due to lack of calcium and other factors. There are hens that lay eggs but do not sit on them. They peck at them, kick them, lay them from a high perch, all causing the eggs to break. Of course, even though they are not interested in raising a new clutch, their hormones still stimulate more egg production. These conditions can be prevented and often times stopped by Birds will lay eggs and can become "chronic egg layers" if the eggs are FERTILE OR UNFERTILE, it doesn't matter. A hen has no set number of live chicks that she is programmed to have. She will lay eggs during each breeding cycle if she hatched 1 or more live chicks or not. Think of the chicken who lays eggs for breakfast. Each chicken continues to lay eggs on a regular basis whether or not any live chicks have hatched. When her eggs are not removed from her nest, she stops laying more and then sits and hatches her baby birds. Whether any eggs hatch or not, depends on if there was a rooster involved. Her actions will be the same fertile or not. PUT ALL THE EGGS YOU RECEIVE IN AT THE SAME TIME. This will jumpstart turning off the hormones directing your bird to lay eggs and reproduce. Do not wait and replace laid eggs with fake eggs one at a time. This does not accomplish stopping egg laying. If your bird sees she has 7 eggs and she needs to lay 7 eggs she will not lay any more. It does take about a week or two for the egg factory to shut down so it is possible to have a new egg or two after putting the plastic dummy eggs inside her cage bowl or nest. If you are using fake bird eggs in conjunction with Lupron shots given by your avian veterinarian, the same directions apply. If dummy bird eggs do not work alone to stop bird breeding, consider using Lupron hormone shots, along with artificial bird eggs. Bonded pairs, male and female, will take turns sitting the eggs. They will defend their nest from intruders, so watch out when changing food and water daily. I have found a wide heavy shallow bowl placed at the bottom of the cage works nicely because I can see them and keep everything clean. Mama Bird comes out of her cage occasionally and takes her giant nesting poop, which is 4 times the size of the regular poop, don’t be alarmed. Poppa Bird, will sit the eggs when Mama’s on break and sings to her. When the female sits her nest, either real or plastic dummy eggs, she will be fiercely protective and her boundaries need to be respected. She will hiss, fluff her feathers, back up, and may attack any threat to her eggs. A lot of people say they "miss" their bird when she is in this state and no longer a plaything. Not to worry... this too shall pass. She will tire of the eggs, especially when the fake eggs don't hatch, and she will start to ignore them, becoming the sweet cooing playful bird you know and love. Most birds will not notice slight changes in size, color, shape, or texture. If it looks close to their egg they will generally accept it and do not notice the difference when the swap is made. A cover at night makes birds feel safe and secure to sit their nest in peace. A fresh sprig of millet and fresh cuttle bone will make for very happy birds. |

RECENT FEEDBACK: “I need the cockatiel size. I had five for four years and had no problem, then last summer I had 27 eggs and they all hatched (the birds were supposed to be all male). I hand raised them all - it was exhausting. I found homes for many but I still have the original five plus ten babies, and I sure as heck don't want any more. They are a trip, but one experience was enough!” Sandy “Hi, again! So far your eggs are doing the trick! However, I didn't think I had this many males!! I've got six pairs brooding, so I need more eggs! But at least I won't go through what I did last year. You're a life saver!” Sandy
Hi Mel, After my dove Angel's mishap with her last natural eggs between May 7 and 9th and her visit to Dr. Rosskoph on the 9th and her having to take antibiotics because of the problem with the second egg, she laid on the six dummy lovebird eggs you sent me until last Thursday, May 7th! She got up off the fake eggs and slept on her perch until tonight. She began two days ago and heavy cooing yesterday and today about 3 p.m. she cooed for a whole hour straight, got back in her nest with her six eggs and didn't get back up tonight. I am so happy. I hope she lays on them another two months. Thank God Almighty for you and your eggs! Sincerely, Carolyn “Hello Melanie, The fake eggs actually arrived yesterday! I can report it looks like they are going to work out just fine. I just put them under one of my nesting 'tiels and she jumped back in her "nest" and is happily nesting away. I just wish I had these around years ago. Thanks!” DC My dove sat on the plastic bird eggs for 3 months, which was outstanding. I got them originally, because she had a breach egg in November 2010 that her avian vet had to remove and has she laid on her fake eggs until about two weeks ago when she left them, but I left them in her nest box. Now she has returned to them miraculously. I took her to the vet today to see if she perhaps had another one of her own eggs stuck inside her, but she didn't. He and I decided that she must think she re-laid.
I took your fake eggs with me to her avian vet so that he could see them and I just want you to know that he absolutely raved about them. He asked me if I was sure that it wasn't a real egg! I told him, no, see the little plastic strip around the middle? I had called his receptionist to tell her about your eggs when I received them, and the doctor heard, but he told me today that he thought I meant a Easter egg like thing. He said they even feel like real eggs! Where are they located??? He's been a vet for over 40 years and he said he's never seen anything like it and he never would have believed they would be like they are, and told me that I had really stumbled across something. I heard him calling his assistant to tell her to come look at your website and how he never would have believed it!
“Thank you Melanie. My pigeon has laid eggs in both the medium and small parrot size so I think a combo of will do the trick. Thank you again for all of your help. Customer service like you offer does not happen much in today's world.” Nancy
Hi Melanie,
Just to let you know that the NY Bird Club does not advocate breeding -- this is why we recommend your company - for birth control.
Thanks for your great dummy eggs, Anna Manhattan Bird Club THANK YOU. First of all, my husband now knows I'm NOT out of my mind, that this is indeed what I'm supposed to do, and secondly, I can stop searching through junk drawers and closets for little plastic egg decoys. You have saved my sanity! Kristy H. It's important now as Alaska is swinging into our spring mode where we are rapidly (about five minutes more a day) getting more daylight after coming out of our famous "24 hour midnight" syndrome. Birds are hormonal and the need to breed behavior is beginning. I'm excited to be able to give Alaskans an option, a ray of hope and hopefully see the decline in the smaller birds dying from calcium depletion due to the ignorance of people yanking the eggs as soon as they are laid. It's an amazing fact people don't seem to realize when dealing with unwanted eggs- fertile or not. When I send your link and flyer out, I will remind people of that fact, which is why leaving an egg in the next is Hi Mel, Thank you so much for expediting the eggs, which I happily received today. I'm really new at all this, so you and your website have been very helpful. Before I, myself experienced the need for the fake eggs, a friend of mine was searching for them and I started to help her search and I found you and she ordered eggs from you. Now it was my turn. I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of this, your helpfulness and caring are actually felt. Thank you again. Best, Simone I ordered the lovebird ones last week - thank you for sending them so quickly. I just got a pair of rescued doves last week. They must be happy here because we have eggs! I do animal rescue (cats, guinea pigs and now birds...). I definitely don't want any extra pets! Nor do I want to contribute to the overpopulation of homeless pets. I am so happy I found your site! Thank you for what you do! Cathy Juba Hello! My eggs came today. I just wanted to thank you! My birds accepted them without a fuss. They really do have the same shape and weight as real eggs! Awesome eggs! Thanks again, Autumn |
