Is There A Specific Time Of Year The Birds Breed?
« on: August 12, 2007, 12:51:28 PM »
Just wondering... Are There Signs to Look For? What do you put in the nesting box? How does it work?
 ??? ??? ???

yea, signs..

ul notice - if you have a nest box - that 1 keeps dissapearing into it, or you spot them chewing on it making the entrance hole bigger.
Also, if they regurgitate for each other it usually means they are a couple  ;D
I think the babies sound like only born kittens. So if you hear that then you have babays!!  ;D ;D

Are you thinkn of breeding your birds or are the wee rebels doing it anyway lolz?

Linzy  ;D

I don't have the nest box on the cage yet but they have had babies before... i would love to have a grey that does all the stuff you guys talk about! i have access to ample cages and supplies from the house i got them from. There are 5 or 6 metal nesting boxes for different cages... do i put some bedding in it for them? if yes, what is the best thing to use?

i'm not in a rush, like i said i have soooo many questions! ??? ???


i got word from the lady who is placing all the cockatiels, love birds and budgies! they are healthy and happy... and are being relocated to seniors' resdiences! yahooo! ;D ;D ;D

Good! Just what those little birds deserved!

I dunno - im not an expert on this area lolz, but I think newspaper would work class, and maybe wood shavings in with it.

I like the idea of newspaper as you can shred it and put it in but also give them big chunks so they tear it themselves which is a good thing..
And just to make it a little more cosy, easier to make, a little wood shaving..

Like I said I dnt really know alot about breeding so I'd say wait until someone more expirienced says they are safe - and offers some more suggestions.

So expirienced breeders - news paper and wood shavings??
