ok my brother bought 2 tiels about 4 months ago he made sure the female was older then the male anyway he set up a nest box and he called me all worried saying that rosco would not let daisy in the box i told him not to worry that is normal that the male will not let the female in till he thinks the nest is ready anyways rosco is a lutino and daisy is a cinnamon pearl

rosco 14 months
daisy 21 months

so i went over with cuttle bone just incase but he had some allready actually he has the right size box plenty cuttle bone and good suply of food

when i went there he has everything including an emergency brooder kit he bought 5 pounds of hand feeding formula that is in the freezer the one thing i did tell him was to get some wooden perches as well not just cement and when the chicks are 2 weeks old he wants me to show him how to do wing clipping on mom and dad no not the chicks
