Cockatiel Breeding

Postby eblake38 on Fri Nov 21, 2008 10:11 pm

Can anyone tell me if tiels wil breed this time of year, or should i just take the box away or what, they do go to the box, think they are just sleeping in it cause they havent produced any eggs yet, but only been on a box for about 3 months, or should i just leave it there until they do lay, what do you guys think is best

    I think you should remove the nest box :)

    I think it depends on whether they live inside or outside, and what the weather is like where ever you live.... If they are outside birds and you get fairly cold weather, then I'd leave it for them to help keep themselves warm.

    Patti's absolutely right -- I assumed your birds are indoors :roll:
