As previously explained, lovebirds can have up to 5-6 clutches per year, with up to 5-6 eggs per clutch that may be laid every few days or even weekly. A lovebird is able to lay eggs as long as the conditions are favorable for it, such as proper nutrition, lighting, etc. Most companion birds can lay year-round as there is less environmental pressure to lay in certain seasons as they would have in the wild. If you are concerned about the eggs, simply remove any that are laid, and ensure Peaches is on a balanced diet with supplemental calcium to prevent egg-binding.
