Tom, you are making it out.
Aviculture has gotten quieter over the past few weeks.
Does anyone have a sure fire method to stop a cockatiel from laying?
My hen lays infertile eggs, because she and her mate (an experienced bird who 
should know better) are not making proper vent to vent contact when they 
copulate.  Basically, she rubs herself on a food dish, and he hops on for the 
ride.
After the last infertile nest (3 so far), I removed the nest box.
But she's laid 2 more eggs since.
