getting cockatiels to mate

Author	Topic: getting cockatiels to mate
jess unregistered	posted 12-16-2002 10:05 PM I have two lutino cockatiels that we are pretty sure are a male and a female. We were hoping that they might lay eggs but they never have. I'm pretty sure that they mate though. He stands on top of her back and a lady at the petstore said that this is how they mate. I wonder do i have to prepare a nest first or is there something else i need to do to achieve this. Advise would be great! IP: Logged

I placed a little box(big enough for them to climb into) in their cage with holes for them to enter and exit. I read somewhere that having a nestbox for the cockatiels is necessary for them to mate successfully. A few days ago I noticed 2 little eggs in it. I threw in a few grass clippings and twigs in there for them to build a nest and it seems to have worked. They take turns keeping the eggs warm. Try placing a small box or something in there for them. Good Luck IP: Logged
