Mindy, my Sun Conure, just laid 4 eggs last month. The 1st egg came on Oct 22 and the 4th came on Oct 30. It was a big surprise for me because I wasn't even sure if Mindy was female. I am still not sure if her mate, Mork, is male or female, but he acts like he is a male.
Anyway, I have sneaked out the eggs for inspection (one at a time) with a flash light and found that the eggs are unfertilized. It's been 3-4 weeks and I don't see anything inside. No veins, no baby bird.
Mindy is still incubating all the time and is still very possessive.
Should I remove one egg at a time? How many days apart? I am worried that she will be very upset and shocked if I remove them too fast.

P.S. By the way, I wasn't prepared for this. So I am still not quite sure if I would want her to have babies in the future. I wouldn't know what to do with the babies. I know that other people in the house will not be able to cope with more than two Sun Conures -- because of the noise.
