Cedar shavings should be avoided, as the oils from these materials can injure or even kill baby birds. The chicks will spend most of their time snuggled up in the nest box, only emerging to ask for food from their parents. Once this has occurred, you may start to hear a peeping sound coming from within the egg as the chick is taking its first breaths of air. Once you have created a suitable nest box, place it in an area of the cage that is quiet and out of direct sunlight.Like the majority of parrot species, cockatiels are cavity nesters, using natural tree hollows or purpose-built cockatiel nest boxes to raise their young.

There's no need to wash the inside of the box, which would introduce extra moisture that might encourage the growth of unwanted microorganisms. There’s sure to be one that will provide the perfect winter refuge or spring nesting site for one of your garden birds. An adult that flees the nest in a panic may scatter or break the eggs, and injure the babies by trampling them or even accidentally dragging a tiny baby out of the nest. When a female cockatiel is ready to lay eggs, she will lay them on the floor of her cage if she has no other location -- and it is highly unlikely that eggs laid out in the open will hatch.Creating a nurturing environment for your cockatiel is not only crucial for their physical health but also for their emotional well-being. Being underweight may indicate that your bird has a disease or that one bird is guarding the food dish and preventing the other from eating. Mounting and Mating: When the female cockatiel is ready to mate, she will adopt a low posture which makes it easier for the male to mount her.
