    Hello, I have a question that I cant find any answers on. My male cockatiel and female cockatiel started the mating process they mated everyday made their nest and everything.

    My cockatiels laid 7 eggs about 3 weeks ago and as we near hatch day, I wanted to ask when is the time right to separate the babies from mom and dad without causing emotional distress? My mom doesn't want more birds in the house so we will have to give them up for adoption, however I don't want...

    I have a female cockateil in her cage and 2 budgies (1m 1f) in another cage. They have all lived very happily together since we got the cockateil nearly a year ago. We were told she was male but straight away knew she was female. She has always showed some broodiness with mating call and light...

    Quick backstory: 2 months ago, Luna (female, 19m) laid a clutch of six eggs. Neither her nor Tuni (male, 19m) didn't pay them any attention, ignored them completely, and after 24 days I removed all the eggs. None of them cared. 2 nights ago, Luna laid an egg in their sleeping cage at around 7pm...

    Hello everyone! My cockatiel laid her first egg 2 days ago. She is about 2,5 years old, she is the only bird that we have and hasn't had a male, so the egg is unfertilised. During the day, she doesn't care almost at all about the egg, but in the evening she gets very protective and doesn't want...

    Good evening everyone, I have just starting my female, Sunny, on pellets for what feels like the 50th time. I am monitoring her weight every day and for the first 2 days I noticed a drop from 120 to 107 to 102. Suddenly, however, the next day I recorded an increase in weight to 114 and the day...

    Hi, everyone! Hope you’re well! My friend is caring for two cockatiels. The female laid eggs last month and they’re fertile. This egg has been laid on the 17th of April, which means that 21 days have passed. There’s definitely a chick there, but he or she isn’t coming out. Their carer has...

    Hello everyone! I was hoping someone could help me with some suspicious looking eggs. Two of our birds recently started showing nesting behavior, so we got them a nesting box, and the female laid fertile eggs! Sadly, I'm worried about them. It's been 21 days for the last egg today, and I'm...

    My cockatiel laid her first egg on the bed inside a quilt on 13th jan. They were mating a lot so i am pretty sure that the eggs are fertile. I read a lot about it on the internet and found that they prefer to stay in their nesting area until the egg laying and incubation cycle is complete. The...

    So scroll to bottom for title question. Thought I'd at least explain the situation first, but it's long. My female cockatiel, about 8 1/2 - 9 years old, started laying eggs about a month back. It was rather on and off. Before this she hadn't laid an egg in 7 1/2 years, back when I purposely...

    I recently purchased a beautiful pair, healthy sweet and experienced breeders. They were sitting on 4 eggs when I brought them home, they have a wonderful environment and diet and are well loved. So far, the hen has stopped at 10 EGGS :wacko: We have 2 perfect babies hatched, all eggs seem fine...

    My tiel, Cloud :wf grey:, has officially won the worst potential mom ever award. I didn't let her fertilize her eggs for her first clutch, just to see how good of a parenting job she would do, and she has not done very well. 1. She laid her eggs from the top of a high perch and cracked them all...
  15. 📢 Cockatiel Talk 🗣️
    I got my cockatiel, Birdadette (Bird for short), about four years ago. She laid one egg about a year or so after I got her and hasn't laid one since. The first egg was a major surprise to both of us, and she wanted nothing to do with it, so after 3 days I removed it. So no eggs or any sign of...

    We have two clutches of eggs now roughly 2 weeks apart. Pearl and big boy laid first and have 5 fertile eggs. My other pair (still nameless) have at least two eggs but I can't seem to get mum to leave the nest box! She was sitting in it for days before even laying any eggs! I've not been able to...

    Hi guys, I am confused to select one of the egg candler of these. Only the 1st picture is an actual egg candler which if for chickens eggs. The rest are general purpose torches. The egg candler diameter is 3 cm which I believe is too big for the cockateils. Please help me select best one.

    I have a single female and she is laying her first clutch. Well It is colder but I don't want her crushing one and would feel better about giving her dummy eggs. Does anyone know how to make them. I know their are some options in buying them but for how much they are their has to be a dyi...

    Hello all, One of my pairs has laid 8 eggs. They have done clutches of 4 before, but never this many! I know for sure one is infertile, so that brings it down to 7. Anyway, 5 of the eggs have hatched so far. The parents are busy around the clock feeding their little fuzzy nuggets and I'm busy...
