Respected Sir,
first of all i would like to thank for your great contribution for guiding cockteil breeders through your Web. it has increased my intrest and knowledge towards keeping cockteils. sir i am a student of masters level and very much found of parrots. i have 11 cockteil pairs which showed good breeding results in first clutch but in 2nd and third clutch their chicks started to expire. the chicks expired during the age of 4-25 days and the situation became more critical in third clutch. despite the fact that in first clutch temperature was very cold and in later clutches temperature was between 20-25 degrees. i had doves and lovebirds in the same shed. shed has which has good air ventilation. their were no chick moralties of dove but severe morality of cockteil chiks. i provide them combination of seeds. PRIME vitamin and all necessary soft foods including bread, fresh corn, black gram. same is the problem with my friend’s cockteil. i never give vaccination and medicine to my birds, and medicine the bird which gets sick and luckily no birds ever get sick. please tell me the reason of morality and further guide me. i shall be very obliged to you.

They can take up to a year to completely grow back but after two to three months, they may be able to fly again.

So sorry to hear about your father Bobbi. We are planning on doing a memorial for him. We would love pictures when you have time. The NCS was proud to be called “home” to him!

Comment on PAIRS: BONDED, PROVEN or WHAT? by Allison Duncan

I had a bonded pair, 2 males. They’d been together for at least 10 years. One died last night (he’d been sick on and off a few years) and I am not sure how to handle the solo male now. (I had another male with him about 12 years ago and they didn’t like each other. ) Do I give it some time? Do I find a new buddy? How do I know if they’ll like each other? Sorry–just really worried about my surviving boy.

Thanks!

I was given a cockatiel 3 months ago and have fallen in love with him. I want to give him a good home, however I don’t know very much about making him happy. He has a big cage and seems very happy. He does seem to have some trust issues but I think that’s to be expected. I really need more information so I can be sure of his happiness. Unfortunately the people that gave him to me don’t know much about how to care for him.
