Should i remove the empty shells ?

Question

when should i remove the empty shells after the cockatiel babys have hatched

Answer 1

Not at all, she may eat them for extra calcium. I usually leave them in the cage or box and the parents take care of them. Please leave your birds alone for right now at least a week, while they are trying to hatch out the babies or they could abandon them or kill them.  

Answer 2

Your babies must be in some kind of box/home.  Don't interfere with them, you don't need to take out the shells.  The mother will eventually push them out.  

Answer 3

It is a good thing so that other birds can "move in" and you get to keep the shells becuase they're prety! Its a win win!

Answer 4

After the are completely out of the shell. Do not try to help them out of the shell its in their nature to get out by themselves.

Answer 5

I am no expert but I have always heard that the shell provides some nurishment for the babies.  I would just google it if I were you cuz I would want to do anything to put them in harms way.
