I have a pet lovebird named peaches, she laid 5 eggs for the month of July. I am mixing crushed oyster shells, cuttlefishbone powder, and supplement calcium will this hurt her in any way or kill her? She laid 5 eggs is this normal for her, how many eggs in a clutch can a lovebird lay?

You can over supplement calcium so be careful. Use a supplement made for birds and follow the instructions on the bottle. ( https://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=24044 ) Normal clutch size is 4-6 eggs.
