Usually the cockatiel is very protective over her eggs. I suggest that if she is being a good mother and sitting on them properly, to let her hatch the eggs. this is so that the babys will bond with their real mother and if you cage them together when their older they will not squabble. I suggest you research on how to care for the mother though since she needs a different set of nutrients while egg laying.

Your local pet store will have books on breeding. You should pick one up for the detail involved. You will have to build a privacy chamber of a type, and understand the reproduction traits of the parakeet.

Watch your bird's behavior. The bird will start to create a nest with any materials it can get. Also, look if your bird is showing hair loss on her belly, or if her belly is rounder. It would also help if you haven't visited your veterinarian. They will know if they are going to hatch and egg or not. I hope I'm not too late :)

First, your parakeet must be female (look at the small colored strip of flesh above their beak) and second, they must be an adult bird. If your parakeet does not have a mate, she may lay eggs, but they will not hatch- they are not fertilized eggs.

It will probably sit in its nest for a long time until it stands up and there they'll be!
