how do you remove a non fertile egg after the mother bird has become attached to it?

Answer 1

replace it with something that looks similar, ie, small white ball?? once she realises its not going to hatch she will abandon it

Answer 2

She is worn out waiting for it to hatch. Just remove it and don't get bitten.She will guard the egg. and she will lay another in about 9 days. What kind of bird is it? If its a cockatiel, you can find a vet to spay it. Not a small bird. to dangerous

Answer 3

Wait 1-2 weeks after its layed preferably 2 she will get sick of sitting on it.

I know it may seem harsh but you should take the egg away from her after 2 weeks, She should return to her normal self after this.

I hope this helps

Answer 4

I usually just leave the egg there. The hen will shove it out of the way after a few days. When she's out to eat, you can pull the egg then :-)

Answer 5

eventually, my bird give up & tosses it or just leaves it there - usually they break it - If it's causing any problems, just take it out. I always tell me birds "Ooo, what a pretty egg, thank you!"
Yes, I talk to them & they love me, they always know that I approve of whatever they do.
