Hi all! been awhile. I have a pair of Gouldians "in their own cage before anyone askes" they have laid about 24 eges but not set them. should I take them out and let them go again. Has anyone else had this before.

To me these birds haven't paired,i would try another cock bird,garyh

Sounds like they don't like each other, or he is firing blanks. Give her a nice rest, without a nest in sight, then a new mate.

I've had similar false starts this year (not so many eggs but plenty of clear ones), chucked them out 7 let them go again & ended up (with most) following up with a proper clutch of fertile eggs. I strongly recommend chucking them out 7 seeing if they follow up by doing the right thing before doing anything more drastic.

Thanks for the feed back guys.
