ok so i have 2 cockatiels %26 they had eggs. %26 first one of them hatched. %26 then they threw the baby out of the nest %26 my brother had to put it back in the nest %26 then after like one week, the baby dies %26 we dont know how it happened, we were thinking it was one of the bird that did cause he is really aggresice when he doesnt get his way.
%26 then the same thing happened when another edd hatched, the didnt throw it out but it also died.
is that normal?
%26 also, next time an egg hatches is it ok to take care of it by ourselfs?
Answers:
they throw it out when they know that its a bad egg
it is normal
the best thing to do is let them take care of their children themselves because they tend to abandon their eggs if they smell a human scent on it
so do not put the egg back into their box
sometimes they will feel danger and just abandon all of their eggs
not every egg hatch is successful, so u cannot be too urgent about it
best of luck.
when the baby hatches, you can feel free to hand-feed it by yourself, as that will help keep it healthy and will make him more tame.
your birds could simply be horrible parents, or don't have a clue about rearing their own young.
i used to raise birds and found this to be the case with some of my birds.
take care.
if this was the first time they were parents, this is normal because sometimes they have no idea what to do. they may get it right after a few tries though. to be on the safe side, i would hand feed the next baby, they are tamer that way anyway because it gets them used to people.
First time parents often don't have succes with that clutch. It sounds like they may have had difficulty feeding the chick.
(For you,)a first time hand feeding you will have to be very careful not to aspirate (choke) the chick. It is difficult to do the first couple of weeks since they are so very tiny and weak.
You will need to purchase pipettes from the store.(small plastic droppers that are able to be used with care several times then dispose of)
Try giving the parents food that will be easy for them to regurgitate to their chicks. Unsweetened cheerios, mashed potatoes, plain boiled spaghetti or macaroni, hard boiled eggs or rice crispies are nice treats for them and not too bad for the chicks. Pet stores sell crunchy egg biscuits that the parents will eat too that will help sustain them.
Do you have a breeding box the appropriate size for them? Line it with plain wood chip bedding.
Change their water at least once a day too. Be sure to wash out the dish with soap because yeast bacteria will thrive in a dirty water bowl and will cause the chick to die as well. Just be sure to rinse it out reallllly good!
Good luck! Babies that are hand fed are lots of fun and easy to sell.if you can bear to part with them!!
you can feed them with a eye dropper pick up the formula at petcxo i did ours hand raised better closer too
This is why some people should not breed birds!! Apparently you don't know that these birds "Do Not Make Good Parents" or you wouldn't keep breeding them. Obviously they will pass on bad genetics if one of them does survive, and that's not what breeding good genetic lines are all about.
Do you even have a clue to how to hand feed one of these babies around the clock? Or the supplies you will need to keep it warm and the tempature to keep it at? The expense of a vet visit if things go wrong? A band for it's leg because by law it has to be banded?
Are you really sure you REALLY know what you are getting into? Breeding is not for fun, it's for the purpose of breeding genetically qaulity blood lines of birds, and i don't see that here in your stock!
If you can't be a responsible person, please stop adding to the unwanted birds in the rescues. They are filling up by the thousands and for this reason alone, the quality of parakeets, cockatiels, love birds and a few other species are going in the dumps! Please think about what you are doing!
for ****-a-tiels, if you are going to breed them, it's best to remove the baby when it is hatched, you will have to learn to feed the babies with an eye dropper until they can eat on the own.
