An egg (whether fertile or not) will not float in water (in the shell of course) if it hasn't gone bad. If you don't want to eat fertile eggs then crack them into a separate bowl first and if there is a red dot in the yoke then it is fertile. you can just throw that one away and you won't have to worry about wasting eggs because one of the eggs in the whole batch was bad.

Why does the parakeet brakes the egg?
As I'm not an expert but have had many parakeets. If the hen or female broke the shell that is fertile she may be helping the chick to break free.

In the wild they may do this to keep predators from going after an egg that's not fertile or even an embryo born dead.
