ok on what age does cockatiels stop breeding

 

[ladybirdb12]

Ummm don't know, maybe 7years old maybe longer depends on them and diet

They generally start breeding in their second year and can go until their twenties apparently (mine are only a few years old). But yea it definately depends on how healthy the birds are and how egg crazy the female is. Some female get so egg crazy they will lay themselves to an early retirement and intervention is needed. Do you have cockatiels at the moment?

Just to let you know,
1 congrats on your egg
2 more to come lol, they will start laying on them when the last egg is layed

Do your birds have a nesting box? I hope so.
I hope you have hand raised baby's before, if you didn't, get in contact with a breeder, I am sure they can show you how to feed the babys.its harder then it looks lol, watching u tube, or reading on how to, is not the way to go, talk with a breeder, so that you can first hand see, hopefully try feeding a baby that knows how to chug
I hope, I am not over stepping (bossy) I just want to save a heart break, if something went wrong.
