We have taken in a fallen bird some 4 – 6 weeks old.
The bird seems to have bonded with us very well over the last 4 weeks.
What are the risks of a healthy bird wanting to fly off at the earliest opportunity ??
So far we can let the bird into trees up to a couple of hundred yards away and he/she will return to us when called. It has been happy to spend up to 3 to 5 hours out there at a time.
What are the chances of survival out there again once seperated from its parents ? – anyone?

This just happened to my aunt and her vet told her that this is no good for her bird. Because if the bird continues to lay eggs it will depleate her calcium. What you need to do is move her cage, and the toys to different spots in her cage. This will make her feel unsafe and she will stop laying eggs. Also, you need to leave the eggs in her cage for 25 days. If you remove them before that, she will be tramatized. After 25 days, she will understand that they were “duds” and it will not cause her any trauma to take them away.

That might not be a bad idea. the egg can’t be fertile as there was nothing to fertilize it however the mom wil be less traumatized if you leave it for a day or so.

I would suggest playing it safe, let the egg stay there, or replace it with something else. It’s not fertile, it won’t hatch. No harm done.

It means your bird is most definitely a female. Unfortunately without amale partner, she can still lay eggs but they won’t be fertile.
I don’t know that your best bet might not be to just remove them, although the female isn’t going to be thrilled with having them taken away.
