    Pretty bird. Hopefully, you'll overcome this situation very soon.

    You have been given so many great ideas, I wish I could add to them. I wouldn't put her on a strict millet diet though, as the required nutrients just are not there.
    I have used false eggs before, with great success. I am always worried about egg binding with cockatiels. Until you find a way to stop or limit the laying I would suggest making sure she has extra calcium.

    "the so-called "austerity diet" -- which is a low-protein diet consisting of a limited variety of seeds and water - and nothing else."
    This is what the article states. So now the question is what seeds are low protein? More research will have to be done as I don't know off hand what seeds that would be.
