My parrots lay eggs all the time. To stop this natural behavior put a shoe box, or a box in there cage with the eggs in it. Put paper shredding in the box so the eggs will not be smashed. Let the bird sit on the eggs for about 4 weeks eventually they will become uninterested and ignore the eggs. At this point your bird will stop laying eggs :)
Never take the eggs out of the cage because this makes your bird want to lay even more.
