Thanks for reaching out about Peaches. Most parrots lay eggs every 2 days to a certain clutch size (which can vary). So if laying an egg every other day for 4 eggs, that can be normal. If you removed the eggs after each one is posited, that can stimulate more egg laying. Laying this many eggs can be a problems if nutrition is poor as eggs require large amounts of calcium and other nutrients to form, and need to be replaced in the diet. Good luck.

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.
