OK, but how do you discourage it if you are not doing anything to encourage
it and the bird lays anyway?  Generally in BIrd Talk, and other bird owners
I've spoken to, the advice is, if she persists in laying, get her set up
to sit, as that will stop her laying for at least the 3 weeks she'll be
sitting.  How else to get her to stop laying??
