You are soposed to give cockatiels grit so that they can digest their food better. All you have to do is by a container at the pet store and sprinkle a littl ebit on your cockatiel's food. Better to give them a separate container.

No. This is very harmful for them. Just make sure you have a cuttlebone in the cage.

I doubt it. Cockatiels eat bigger seeds than finches, so finch food wouldn't suit cockatiels.

Is millet sunflower seed egg biscuit and chopped lettuce all that is needed to feed your quail and cockatiel?

NO. I am not sure about quails, but for your cockatiel, you need to feed him a good quality cockatiel, or small hookbill, feed. For a good balanced diet, I highly recommend feeding various fruits and vegetables as well. Millet is a TREAT, so try to only give it about once or twice a week. :)

What should you feed your chickens in the winter?

In the winter, you should still feed your hens layer feed, but in less quantity. They should have CONSTANT access to scratch grains or corn, especially if you live in colder climates. This allows them to always generate body heat. They should ALWAYS, regardless of season, have constant access to grit and some form of calcium (oyster shell).

For a Pet Cockatiel should you use bird sand and if so how is it used?

Bird sand or some type of bird grit is a must for cockatiels, as they need it to help them digest their food. All you need to do is sprinkle a small handful on the bottom of their cage whenever you change the paper (at least once a week). An alternative is to get some sand and grit, mix it in a feeding bowl, and keep it on the side of the cage, near their normal seed bowl.
