8 Solid Plastic Canary Fake Eggs, 15mm x 19mm Blue-Green Speckled - Not Painted
Why do you need fake eggs for birds’ nests? Excessive egg production in female birds can result in calcium loss and birthing failures. If you want to reduce the number of eggs a female bird lays, the simplest way is to let it naturally hatch its own eggs. Once the female bird lays the first egg, it is likely to lay a second and third. By placing a fake egg in the nest every day, the female will stop laying eggs before completing a full clutch. Realistic fake eggs can effectively deceive the female bird, resulting in a significant reduction in egg laying.
Additionally, using fake eggs can help synchronize the hatching time of the eggs to minimize differences in the size of the young birds, which can make feeding more challenging. For example, lovebirds typically lay one egg about every two days during the breeding period, with 4-5 eggs in a nest and an incubation period of approximately 20 days. The first chick hatches within two days after the initial hatching, resulting in a size difference of 8-10 days between the first and fifth chicks. With such a large gap, the older chicks can easily harm or starve their younger siblings. To address this, the fake eggs can be swapped for real eggs as they are laid, which allows them all to hatch simultaneously and grow at a consistent rate.
