Answer 1

Like I said in your other question, the gestation period for lovebird is between 23-26 days. This is when they eggs HATCH. So if a baby bird was going to be in the egg, you would of seen signs of it in the first week. No, sorry, your eggs are infertile, and like I said before, you need to remove them before they cause a sanitation problem in your cage.

Its like the chicken eggs you buy from stores. They have yolks because they are capable of caring for a baby bird, but the egg hasn't been fertilized, so there is only a yoke, no baby as well

Answer 2

According to a poster in the forum linked below the gestation period for lovebirds is 23 days.

Birds do lay infertile eggs. If your bird is laying eggs you should add a calcium supplement to her diet to replace the calcium she's losing to the process of making eggs. You can get this at any pet store that carries supplies for birds.
