In my opinion this is just part of the cycle of life. Females will lay eggs even if there isn't a male in the cage because that is what their bodies tell them to do. If I remember right, we advised you to change the cage up, as far as rearranging dishes, toys and perches. Maybe one of the long-term breeders can give you some different advice. I had three females in a cage and they were laying eggs, but now have stopped.

At this point the only thing I can advise you is to do is take your bird to an Avian Vet for further advice.

Have highly (even overly) prolific cockatiels been artificially selected for?
