My parakeets are destroying their own eggs

My female parakeet keeps pulling her eggs out of her nesting box and droping them on the floor why is she doing it and how do I stop it

Answer #1

No do not touch the eggs. I raised parakets and if they are destroying their eggs there is something wrong with the egg and she knows it is rotten.

Answer #2

Mine did that to. If its her first eggs maybe thats the reason because my bird would do the same at first. The other reason that she could be doing it is if she gets disturbed if someone is bugging and looking inside her nest. I dont think their is much to do just leave her and dont disturbe her thats what I did with mine and she had more eggs, they later hatched and she kept having more.

Answer #3

Yeah, your parakeets might just not feel safe enough where they are, and that’s why they are destroying their own eggs. If you want to have baby parakeets, then try getting them a nest, which they sell in pet stores, and try to make them a spot thats out of view for them to have their nest.

Answer #4

but should I take the eggs away?

Answer #5
