My cockatiel pair are on their second clutch attempt. The first clutch were all dud.
This time the first egg hatched about 2-3 days ago. Second now in the nest box.
But this afternoon my mum found the first chick outside the nest box on the floor of the cage dead.
Is it possible for the chick to have somehow climbed out of the nest box and fallen? or is this something one of the parents might have done if it died in the nest box?
A bit heartbroken at the moment, but just want to try do best to support the cockatiels at the moment, any advice would help. I have read a few threads already and will carry on reading. thanks in advance
