Just remove the eggs that the female lays. I remove unwanted eggs every day. If you let_x000D_
the birds raise more than around 3 clutches per breeding season you will exhaust the_x000D_
parents. It is not laying the eggs that is hard on them, but raising the chicks.

Healthy female zebra finches will often lay eggs even without a male companion when_x000D_
they are in good health.
