Breeding 101

To ensure the good health of breeding cockatiels and their babies, a male and female pair should be unrelated, free of disease and birth defects, and between 2 and 5 years old. It is always a good idea to take your birds to an avian vet before breeding to ensure they are healthy.

A cage for a pair of breeding cockatiels should be a minimum size of 20 x 20 x 50 inches and should contain a nest box that is at least 12 x 12 inches. Proper nesting material, such as shredded paper, paper towels, and molted feathers, should be provided by you.

Female cockatiels lay their eggs within one or two weeks of mating. Like many other types of birds, it’s not uncommon for cockatiels to lay one egg every other day until they have all been laid. There are normally between four and six eggs in each clutch.

They incubate their eggs for 18 to 20 days.
