Cockatiel breeding Question?

[rey2pokey]

what kind of Material is the Cockatiel nesting on?

[Page0044]

It looks like wood shavings

I concur, and as my mother has been breeding Cockatiels successfully for many years on a mix of loam and wood shavings (for absorbancy) that would make sence.

would a pet store carry that????

and does ripped newspaper work as well

News paper won't be any good, your pet shop should carry wood shavings

hello i have got 3 baby pied cockatiel atm and they are doing very well just a couple of days away from fledging and they had wood shavings but the mum's love it because it soft and easy to move around but later on in the season it''l need to be swapede around as it gets very turdy (full of poo)

I use wood shavings from the pet shop

[rey2pokey]

what kind of cage is better a tall or wide one???

[jusdeb]

Quarrions love to climb as well as fly so I say as BIG as you can have the cage will do but remember they are NOT helicopters

If you know of a carpenter/joinery workshop they may have plenty of wood shavings they would love to have someone take away.
