Help!!

[Wintergreen]

Okay so my cockatiels bowie and winter are the proud parents of some little eggs and I need to relocate them to a new cage will they abandon the nest or will it be okay I need help.

Hi, this is a good question.
I would be concerned too. Since abandoned eggs would means little babies may never Hatch out. I have personally seen a lovebird abandoning her egg after laying it a few days without reason.

Is this their first time?
Do you want their babies?
If not, moving their cage wouldn't matter.
The parents will move on.

But if you do want the babies, would it be possible to not move them? They need to relax and not be surprised to any change right now.

I figured out a way to keep them in their cage. Do you have any advice to help them hatch out their babies. They have laid on the floor of the cage what should I do?

Show us a picture of them, as it is very adorable and someone might come up with other useful stuff.

Q:Would they like a supply of nesting materials? This long read has a section devoted to Egg laying and nesting materials. It also explains about handling of egg that was on the cage floor, heater etc.

I have a similar problem. My female cockatiel, Geralda, laid 3 fertile eggs with her partner on the floor. We were worried about the heat level so we moved them into a bird box. She is very stressed and can’t seem to find them. Will she abandon the eggs?

She may abandon the eggs. She probably doesn’t quite understand what happened.

Do you WANT baby birds? I had a pair of cockatiels together for years without babies, just by not having a nest box available.
