Love bird laying insane amount of eggs?

[Silkiebegins]

If two eggs were fertilized and started to develop, that is pretty good evidence that you have a male/female pair. (Parthenogenesis in bird eggs can happen but is pretty rare: that would be when an egg starts to develop without being fertilized.)

I don't have a good explanation for why there would be so many eggs if only one bird is female-- maybe she's weird? If both are female, then the egg count is a little bit high but not too surprising.

Yes, she would move her bum around when "mating," regardless of whether her partner is a male or a female.

Google said it's a hormonal issue. Do you know if anyone knows it's true? Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get her out of it. 3 months can't be good for her.

That could easily be true-- hormones are definitely involved in egg laying and in sitting on the eggs.

As for what to do, I'm not really sure. Many things can affect the hormones, and I don't know enough about lovebirds to say what will work for them.

Hopefully one of the other people will have some suggestions.

Sorry for the very, Very late update. So I told her all of your guys's suggestions, and turns out was a female! Apparently when she meant "professionally sexed" she meant sexed by a professional breeder. Well they were wrong and she traded the supposedly male for another bird that is supposed to be a male. Thank you all for your guys's help.

Thank you for the update! Even though it is a bit late, it is good to know what the correct explanation turned out to be!
