Sorry - I couldn't get any pictures of the actual eggs, but I got some pictures of ChaChi (male) guarding them:

Cheeky (female) is in the box too, but you can only see her on the second picture, behind ChaChi. I will try and get some more pictures another time.

I love the way that both parents care for the eggs. It's one of the sweetest things with cockatiels.

I can't wait! Make sure they're getting lots of calcium and protein for those babies!

Bea

Do you know when the first egg was laid? It's about 18/21 days after she started laying.

Bea

Well assuming tiels lay an egg every second day - that would make the first about 10 days old wouldn't it?

Aly

11-09-2007, 04:59 PM

Yup I think so...if she started sitting on them right away...

Chris

I am still trying to get an opportunity to get a picture of the eggs, but they are so protective they won't let me, which is good really because it shows that they care.

I think about 14-ish days since the first one was laid, so that would mean maybe just under a week - 5 days maybe?

I bet your really excited about it all, are they your first egg children or have you bred them before?

Aly

Is this their 1st time aswell? And how old are they, any idea?

Any more updates Chris? :D

Chris

Sadly the cockatiels have deserted the eggs so I have taken the eggs out and put them in the bin. Maybe next time.

Disappointing.

Holding them up to the light, I think one of the five was fertile, but they left it to go cold.

aww thats to bad sorry to hear that Chris :( that seems to happen alot with first time parents hopefully they will get it the next time.

guido

sorry to hear that. that is a shame.

better luck next time......

Bea

11-17-2007, 04:54 PM

I'm sorry to hear they left the eggs. It's strange that they sat so long before abandoning them, perhaps they knew somehow that none were going to hatch. Hopefully you'll have better luck next time.

Chris

Thanks everyone!

I think (hoping) that this summer they will be successful, and I think Rocki and Sky (one of my budgie pairs) will be too.

Aly
