My cockatiel just laid an egg! But then she left the nest box with the male. what should i do? is that normal?

Question

I have a nest box and both male and female cockatiels.

Answer 1

Hi,

Yeah that sounds normal most birds will not sit on the eggs until the second egg is laid. So that'll be a couple of days for cockatiels.

Answer 2

They're partners. Leave them alone.

Please go learn all you can about breeding.  You went into this without researching and this may kill your birds through lack of knowledge.  There are several sites on my website that will help you, but the best is http://www.cockatielcottage.net
