If your lovebird lay an egg last night how long do you leave the cage before cleaning it out as the egg is at the bottom of the cage where she sits on it and are there likely to be anymore eggs?

If this bird is a single female lovie (no mate), she may lay up to 6 eggs...1 egg every other day. The eggs will be infertile if she hasn't mated with a male bird. Just leave the eggs where she has laid them until she abandons them on her own. If you remove them as they are laid, she'll continue to lay and lay, and you don't want this to happen as it could affect her health. If these eggs will be infertile, you can pick them up and clean out the cage anytime you want. If this bird is with a mate and there's a possibility these eggs are fertile, and you want them to hatch if possible, then you need to purchase a nesting box and attach it to the bird's cage. Then place the egg(s) inside the nesting box, and then let the parents take it from there. You could also just leave the eggs where they are laid, however, the chances of them hatching are about 50/50. Also, the babies won't have much protection, etc., if left on the cage bottom.
