First Eggs!

April 22, 2013-- First Eggs! My cockatiels have layed their first egg today. At 1 years and 2 months of age, I believe there first egg laying experience is pretty interesting to them. The female comes out to get some daylight time to time. The male is very protective on its egg!

For the past week I have been noticing the male cockatiel setting up the nest. For example, chewing on the entrance a little more, sitting in the nest and guarding it to show the female that it is capable of nesting, and eating more cuttlebone than before. I have recently started putting some egg food in the cage for them and they have been eating it like they have had nothing better before! 

They should be laying another egg by tomorrow because most bird species lay eggs every other day. Hopefully everything turns out well, very excited!!
