She is female for sure. It is a hormonal thing, if SHE is happy, SHE will lay eggs.
My cockatiel lays 1-3 clutchs in the winter (on 2nd clutch now) and the same in the summer.

If She Starts Laying More That 1 Clutch Of Infertile Eggs A Season Leave The Eggs In The Cage With Her She Will Start Treating Them As Fertile Eggs And Stop Trying To Lay, The Reason I Say This Is If She Lays To Many Eggs In A Season It Can Decrease Her Calcuim Levels, Higher Risk Of Becoming Egg Bound Which Can Kill If Not Treated By A Vet
Hope This Helps
P.S Actually Thinking About It Dont Leave The Actuall Eggs She Lays In There Take Them Out And Replace Them With Dummy Eggs Just Put Some Type Of Scent Of Hers On The Dummy Eggs

Your lovebird wants to have a family. She lays eggs, of course they arent fertile with out the male. She will still lay eggs, just not good ones. Two females will lay eggs also...guess they havent been told about needing a male yet. I had cockatiels that did the same thing. Two females in the same cage mistaken for being a couple, will lay eggs, the eggs just dont hatch.

That is what birds do, it is natural. Don't take the eggs out let her sit on them til she is done. Then she will abandon them. If you take them out she could continue to lay eggs and get calcium defiant. She may do this once a year or never again. Try putting her to bed earlier in the longer days of the year and that may kick her out of the hormonal stage. Good luck

Yes it can continue to happen. Look into how light affects your bird. I believe if you manipulate the lighting in it's cage you can decrease the egg laying. You need to be very careful that your bird does not become "egg bound" which is a very serious condition to birds and can even be fatal. Symptoms include: depression, labored breathing, straining, abdominal distention, lack of droppings, fluffed appearance, and poor appetite.

There doesn't need to be a male and female bird for the female to lay eggs. The eggs just arn't fertile- they are just like the chicken eggs at the store.
And it might keep laying, it might not. She will probably lay sporatically, but more in the summer months- If she does lay just remove them- if it strikes your fancy, eat them (Highly unreccomended- first, you would need like 20 to make a decent omelette. And who knows if your bird carries some disease? )

Congrats! You have a girl! The eggs are unfertilised, so throw them out.
