Hi again :( can u tell me how much fruit vegetables or calcium protein should naoki take besides 2 drops of multivitamin in her water every day?he doesnt eat a lot of fruits or protein every day (besides multivitamin electrolyte)so im guessing maybe
Thanks for reaching out about Naoki. If providing a wide range of vegetables, beans and pellets, does not need vitamin drops or calcium powder. Fruit should be considered treats as mostly water, fructose and some other nutrients. Good luck.

Hello! I have a Cockatiel and she is one year old. For the first time, she laid and egg today. I want to know if I should expect more eggs and what food should I give her the most (she eats eggs, vegetables, rice, pasta etc) I'm worried because I don
They typically lay one egg every two days until the have a clutch of 2-8 eggs. If she is housed alone, the eggs will be infertile. She will need a fortified seed mix or commercial pelleted diet and extra calcium. Allow her to incubate the clutch for 21-30 days before attempting removal. You can take them out sooner if she abandons them.

My baby cockatiel is some 4-5 weeks old. Quite recently I've changed the consistency of its formula food. And I'm using Nestlé Baby feeding formula powder called cerelac. It used to eat 2-3 syringes of the runny formula.. Now that I have changed its
Cerelac is a human baby food, and your baby bird should be on a baby bird food so that he is getting the right nutrients to grow. If he's starting to feather, you can start to add in and offer some mashed up or soaked cockatiel feed/seeds to encourage him to eat a little more since he is old enough to start transitioning.

My single female cockatiel has laid two eggs in two days. Should I remove them or leave them? And for how long? Does she need dietary supplements? Thank you
Leave them in the cage/nest. If you remove them, she will keep laying. Leave them until she loses interest which could be in 2-3 weeks. Provide a commercial pelleted diet supplemented with a fortified seed mix. Provide a cuttlebone or mineral block as well. She will lay anywhere from 2 to 8 eggs total and there will likely be one day separating each egg.

Hello, I've been really worried this morning. I have a pet cockatiel that is almost 3 weeks old. This morning a friend told me to give him vitamins which is designed for fighting cocks because he said it was summer and I need to prepare him. I mixed
It is possible that there was something in the vitamins that made him ill, was in too high of a dose, or they weren't administered properly. Since he is now reacting to them, it would be best to seek out his vet or an emergency vet clinic in your area ASAP to get him seen and treated. Until you can get to the vet, keeping him warm and calm and on his regular baby bird food may help, but if he is acting very ill after being given a medication he needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. In the future, it is best not to give any extra supplements or medications to your birds unless instructed by a vet to ensure they are the right dosage and type for your bird to handle.
