Как у бабушки в деревне. Ещё раз про яйца.
Все ругают современное производство, говоря, что если бы было так же, "как у бабушки в деревне", то можно было бы продолжать есть яйца. У этих людей искажённые понятия о том, как всё происходит в деревне, и тем более об этичности того, что там происходит

Discouraging Breeding Behavior In Pet Birds
General Information
In the wild, female parrots will not lay eggs unless they have a mate and a suitable nesting site. In captivity, however, some parrots will lay eggs or even have repeated clutches of eggs despite the absence of a mate. Egg production is stressful for birds; it depletes their nutritional stores, and predisposes them to malnutrition, osteoporosis, and life-threatening illnesses. In situations where birds are being intentionally bred, these risks are an inherent part of the breeding process. For pet birds that are not being bred, however, egg laying can pose serious health risks without the benefit of producing chicks.
Some birds have problems from the very first time they try to lay eggs. Other birds can lay for years before they run into difficulties. In either situation, however, reproductive problems can lead to egg-binding, oviductal prolapse, peritonitis, and death.
Unlike with cats and dogs, it is not a simple procedure to spay a bird. For many birds, the most effective way to stop egg laying is through environmental and behavioral changes. Some birds may also require medical intervention.

И вот прямой ответ
Do Wild birds lay unfertilized eggs?
Answer:
The answer is yes - all birds have the ability to lay unfertilized eggs, however in the wild this is a rare occurrence due to the drive to mate.
The laying of unfertilized eggs is simply a method of disposing of the unused egg from the body of the bird.
The domesticated chicken and duck are unusual amongst birds due to the fact that they will lay an egg almost daily. This useful feature has been selectively bred into the domesticated species for hundreds of years, and is also partially due to the fact that their eggs are removed daily.
If a chicken or duck is left with their eggs, they will start to brood, stop laying eggs and try to hatch the eggs they already have.

в обсуждениях про употребление яиц мне нечем крыть аргумент "они же сами несут, мы просто берем, не причиняя вреда"
