My cockatiel keeps trying to lay eggs?

Hello everyone! My cockatiel's name is Snow and she's about 4 years old. In December she laid eggs for the first time and then again last month, which I know is normal. However, since laying her last egg about 2 1/2 weeks ago, she's doing the mating stance/chirping again. I'm wondering if this is normal or not, because I know that if she starts laying eggs again it could be bad for her health. I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried rearranging her cage and making her have less sunlight but nothing works. I've even stopped petting her because I'm 90% sure she thinks I'm her mate. Please help! Thank you!!!

(Side note: there are no male cockatiels, I only have her.)
