Oh wow. That's reallys sad, but I guess that's their way of ensuring their species survival in the wild. Can you put up a blockade to keep her more in the dark, kinda like one of those room divider screens? I bet she'll love how toasty warm the extra lights will make it.
Exactly. Since I was paying $1.50 every single day to air up that 1 tire I'd check the others too and I swear each tire was 1/2 - 1 lb low each morning. Whyyyyy? I don't think the tires are having the valve problem the other one was, but just fluctuating b/c of the cold.
She probably laid that egg and though Yeah, I'm not doing that again. Smart bird.
Rude question, Is your husband salary or hourly? Just wondering b/c if he's going in at 3 is he still working his hours or does he leave when everyone else does too? If so i can see that being a problem. But if he's still working his time maybe they don't mind. Like doing an evening shift.
The research I did said unless allowed to sit and hatch many cockatiel will continue to lay until they have to little calcium to live. CRAAAAZY!
I am glad thinking I can limit the light with cardboard or cloth on the seed station.
I definitely do NOT want a freaky bird in there!
The tire bleed off has to do with contracting during the cold nights......I am sure there is some science there somewhere. Mine drops just enough to set off my low tire warning light.
