If it is a male and female cockatiel, it should not take long for them to mate. When I was younger, we had two cockatiels and kept them in separate cages. One time, the male was out of his cage and managed to get into the female's cage. They ended up mating, and not long after she laid an egg. My mom wanted them to have chicks, so my dad built a nest inside a wooden box and attached it to the side of the female's cage. He cut the wires to make a hole where she could then go in and lay more of her eggs, and she could hatch them. At this point we let the male and female stay in the same cage together. It was so sweet because the box had a top that we could open and close, so we could see the little chicks when they hatched. If you want chicks, make sure the female will have a comfortable place to incubate the eggs. Sometimes the female will lay an egg though, and it will drop to the bottom of the cage. Good luck!

Just leave it in the cage. If it's not fertilized she should figure that out soon enough and not care, then you can take it out.

When your cockatiel has already laid her egg and there is no nest in her cage?

Eggs can generally withstand a reasonable temperature range when first laid as most birds do not begin to set (sit on the nest full time) until they have a number of eggs. Cockatiels generally lay four to seven eggs. While the ideal situation is to provide a nest before she produces eggs providing a nest and placing the egg in it will probably encourage her to lay any additional eggs in the nest. Finally, since there is no specific mention of whether she has a mate understand that she can produce unfertilized eggs. The Wikipedia site has several articles on Cockatiels.

Your cockatiels bird lays eggs but never hatch but you dont know why?

First of all determine if the egg could be fertile. (like if there is a male and female together) Cockatiels are notorious for excessive egg laying. Make sure she is getting plenty of calcium. (Either a cuttlebone, grit, or something along those lines. keep her in an area that has more activity. Those are just a couple suggestions to get you started.

No the cockatiel should not be seperated from his or her mate after eggs have been laid. This should only occur if the male is aggressive to live and viable eggs. Visit cockatiel cottage for more info.


How do you tell if your cockatiel is pregnant She has been sitting on the bottom of her cage for about a day and a half now and the male is constantly standing over her?

Cockatiels are birds and, therefore, do not get "pregnant"; they lay eggs. However, if she is behaving strangely, she may be egg-bound or otherwise ill. Consult your Veterinarian.


Can cockatiels and budgerigars live together in a cage?

Birds of one species, if kept in captivity, may sometimes develop mate-type relationships with birds of a different species. Some birds will mount other birds and some birds will mount or rub against their human caretakers or inanimate objects. You don't have to worry about accidental hybrid babies. Cockatiels and budgerigars are not closely related enough for offspring to be produced. You might have to worry about what the budgie does to the cockatiel because budgies can be more pushy and aggressive, especially if the budgie perceives it as an attack. But there is an egg and we only have one Cockatiel? What's up with that?
