Hey all, my issue may not be in the right spot but I’m grateful for all advice/help.
My cockatiel pair only want to mate and look for spots to nest. I am not allowing them to breed anymore as they have just had a nest and raised a chick. Before this nest they had similar behaviour. They only want to nest/breed. My female constantly laid eggs. I was told by an avian vet to take the eggs away as soon as possible and that should discourage her from laying more eggs. But it didn’t discourage her.
They have lots of toys, my attention and healthy diet options. They sleep about 14 hours each night (so as to reduce sunlight hours). I am at my wits end because in their search for any nesting spots they cry/nag almost the whole day. What else can I do????
Thank you in advance for all your help
