I don't leave the eggs till they stink. I have tried it a few ways with Maui, sometimes leaving the eggs for quite a while and other times taking them away immediately. In the former, Maui didn't loose interest in them as I thought she might have, so I removed them. She seemed really concerned for a day looking around for the eggs, but she returned to her normal self quickly.
The problem with removing the eggs is that it might lead her to lay more. I stopped this with Maui by taking away any shredding material and keeping her out of her cage (on perches, etc.) where she could not easily lay an egg and sit on it.
After 4-5 eggs, Maui would lay another batch for at least a couple of months.

Well thanks for all the help and advice guys and gals, all seems well.
Sparks seemed to be getting a bit bored on top of the last egg and the egg was getting less and less like an egg so I nabbed it today while she was eating.
She looked around for about 10 mins then started back in her old ways, chirping, talking playing with toys etc. Does not seem in the least bit distressed and still eating like a horse.
Thanks again, will keep you updated of any new developments.
Stan
