If the parents are pushing the same egg out of the nest box there is a possibility that something could be wrong with that particular egg. Sometimes there may be too many eggs for the parents to tend to so therefore an egg may be discarded for that reason.
Female lovebirds (and birds in general) can lay eggs without the presence of a male. This is perfectly normal - think of chicken eggs.
What is more important is the danger this poses to your pet. Laying eggs takes a lot of calcium, and when the hen runs low on it she may produce eggs whose shells are too thin for her to push them out. This is called egg binding, and it kills.
What you can do is to give her a nest to lay in - shoeboxes work well - and when she lays an egg, replace it with a fake one (available at pet supply or online http://www.fakebirdeggs.com). She will lay a few eggs and then sit on them. She will sit on the fake eggs for MONTHS before she loses interest. When she gets tired of them, take them out. By then she will have recovered, and be much less likely become egg bound.
It takes anywhere from 21 to 26 days for a lovebird egg to hatch after it is laid. Sometimes female lovebirds will lay infertile eggs, this is natural and there is nothing wrong with your lovebird but they will still sit on the eggs as if they were fertile. If you are unsure about if it is fertile, try candling the egg (holding a bright light up to an egg) and look for a black dot, blood vessels or a chick inside. If you see nothing (must be at least 7 days after the egg was laid) then most likely it is infertile and you should remove the eggs.

Lovebirds eggs are edible?
Well, darling, technically speaking, lovebirds' eggs are indeed edible, just like any other bird's eggs. However, I wouldn't recommend raiding a lovebird's nest for breakfast unless you want to deal with some angry lovebird parents coming after you. So, proceed with caution and maybe stick to the eggs from the grocery store for your morning omelet.
Can a male parakeet and a female lovebird mate?
I think so- I have a love bird and I see that it will mate with any other bird -parakeet included. However I am not sure if they will lay eggs or if the eggs laid will be fertilized. The genome differrence of the two should be considered and may be that will provide the right answer
