Good diet for my breeding female cockatiel?

Question by Hannah: Good diet for my breeding female cockatiel?
Hello,
I have a male and female cockatiel and they do breed. They are both over a little of 2 yrs. And yes, they are bonded, very bonded, they love eachother. And My family and I love them. SO can you tell me what would be good food for both of them to eat while breeding? I am buying them cuttle bone today and right now I feed them alot of Gourmet Egg food that has alot of vitamins in it. Thankyou very much:)
also, i would LOVE to be giving them fruits and veggies, but they dont seem interested in them! They dont even try them

Answer by Betta Lover
So far it sounds like your on the right page!

Your going to want to offer a variety of fruits and veggies on top of their regular food, to make sure they have a well rounded diet! I’ve provided a list, and you’ll want to make sure you do purchase that cuttle bone. The calcium is something your pair will definitely need. I would also keep up with the Gourmet Egg food!

Greens: Kale, Bok choy, spinach, chard, mustard greens, radish, carrot tops, beet tops, dandelion greens (make sure they haven’t been sprayed or collected near a roadway) and just about any other leafy green veggie.

Veggies: Carrots, peas, zucchini, corn, squash, radishes, bell pepper, broccoli, green beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, chili peppers.

Grains: Steamed rice (white, brown, wild) cooked pasta, whole wheat and multi-grain bread, popcorn (no butter), bran muffins, polenta, grits, cous cous, sprouted seeds and grains (quinoa, amaranth, millet, teff, kamut, spelt), oatmeal, all natural cereal.

Proteins: Raw sunflower seed (small amounts), chicken, eggs, fish, small amounts of hard cheese such as Jack and cheddar, tofu, cooked beans (lentil, kidney, black, garbanzo, navy, white).

Fruit: Apples (seeds removed), peaches, bananas, melons, mango, pomegranate, oranges, papaya, strawberries, plums, pears, berries, nectarines, cherries. (Please remove all pits from fruit.)

Good luck !

Is this cage good for a sugar glider?

Question by sprtsking17: Is this cage good for a sugar glider?
I was wondering if this cage was good for a sugar glider. It was originally a bird cage but our bird died so I was wondering if this would work for a sugar glider. I wanna make sure they wont be able to escape and it will give them enough room. Thanks!

Would it be a good idea to place the runt cockatiel of one batch into another nest box with different ‘tiels?

Question by phantomisle: Would it be a good idea to place the runt cockatiel of one batch into another nest box with different ‘tiels?
I’m running out of options Is it a good idea to place the runt of the litter of cockatiels I mentioned in my last question into another cage where hopefully a different set of cockatiels will take care of it??? I’m not sure. Should I? Will the other two cockatiels take care of it and make it grow and stuff?

When is a good time for me to start taking my bird out of it’s cage without me being bitten?

Question by gangsta_bunny: When is a good time for me to start taking my bird out of it’s cage without me being bitten?
I just got a bird (cockatiel) yesterday, (i’ve never had one before) and it apparently hates me, but it occasionally chirps. (is this a good sign?) and i would like to know when i can start taking him out of the cage on my finger without the risk of him biting me?

Best answer:

Answer by Pie-O-My
If you wait for a “good” time, you’ll never get it out of that cage. The ONLY way to get a new bird used to you is to handle it as much as possible. You will HAVE to learn to accept a few bites. You can deflect them by turning your fingers under when it makes a move to bite — it’s harder for a small beak to get hold of a large knuckle. DO NOT wear gloves — instead, use a dowel-type perch to get the bird out of the cage or use a towel (but be careful you don’t crush the bird in the process). You have to take the initiative here and NOT wait for the bird to “let” you in.

If the bird’s wings are not clipped, it will take even longer. If they’re not clipped, take it to a vet or pet store to have the wings trimmed. This way, the bird will learn that it can’t just fly away when you try to handle it.

i have a pet cockatiel and i feel that maybe he needs somebody to uh hang out with. so i was wondering what type of bird would be good to put in his cage with him. i know maybe like another cockatiel and i also heard that canaries are good too. ive had him for about two years and he really doesn’t do anything, he just eats, craps, and tweets when he hears a noise. and are supposed to sing and like talk or something? thanks.

Should I get the medium size one? I like all the features, like how it detaches from base, the grill slides out and has exterior access to food and water. I also like how cheap it is! Please answer quick!!!

Which one is the best? I like the last one but Im not sure about the cost……

Best answer:

Answer by Frye guy
Any of them will suit your cockatiel needs. I would go for the cheapest one, because it’s not always the cage, but more about what you use to interact with your bird. I used a cage that a family friend game me, which was very basic but suited my needs.
