hey i guys i just thought that this could be important to people who are breeding their tiels, you guys should know which egg is fertile and which is not.
and also when the eggs are not fertile you shouldnt remove them untill the female and the male stop nesting them.
so here is a picture that will show the eggs.
a fertile egg wil be all white with no spots or anything on the shell, the unfertile eggs will have a pinkish color to the egg shell instead of white and u will also notice that there is a dull color to it just like its shown in the picture.
there is another method where you can check the eggs, which is by candling the egg, which means you place the light behind the egg, in a non fertile egg you will see this:
a fertile will look like this: ( i had to google this picture the rest above are from my birds)

i would also like to add that this method can be used for other birds
these are bad eggs:
If you look closely you can see dark splotches and tiny cracks. Often dead in shell (DIS) eggs will show dark blotches as well, indicating that the egg died. That is not the case here, but it looks similar.
Upon splitting open the eggs:
