My budgie Feety she is a Female parakeet, she keeps laying eggs they have nothing in them except egg yolk. she's had I'd say about 24 eggs from the summer until now but now she is laying on them warming them up its because of her disco ball is it? she goes up to it repeats the words and noises we teach her which is: hello pretty bird and what ya doin? and r2d2 noises and lifts up her tail and talks to the disco ball, but why is she laying on her 3 eggs? !There is no male bird! please reply.

Take out anything that can be used as a nest and maybe swap things round in her cage. Someone with more experience in breeding will surely help more?

If she is lifting her tail to the disco ball, remove it. Where are the eggs and how is she incubating them? Do not have a nest box, hollow logs, snuggle huts, coconuts or anything remotely similar to any of these in her cage. Take everything out of her cage, replace with different things, move perches to different positions, even move the cage to a different room.
The eggs are obviously not going to be fertile if she does not have a mate; incubating the eggs is what she would normally do to allow the embryo to develop into a chick. The eggs are not laid with a ready-to-hatch chick inside.

24 eggs is a huge amount over a summer , she must be worn out. Hens are determined if nothing else!!
I hope with removal of some items and a reshuffle of other items it will help to cease laying more eggs.

Also make sure she is getting plenty of calcium in her diet, add it to her water as well. This will all be taking a huge toll on her health.
