Breeding sun conures and cockatiels

Post by reinagrl »

wondering if anyone can suggest why my pr. sun conures and several pairs of cockatiels have not been breeding. they are housed in cages large enough and they are fed a healthy diet, yet, no clutches. any reasons or suggestions. Thanks!

where are you? What season is it? How old are the birds?
How much and how often do you feed them? Is their nest box large enough? Do your Sun Conures have heaps of things to chew on and put in their nest (wood)? Do they have access to cuttlebone all year round?

There are many things to take into account why your birds haven't bred. Maybe answer some of these questions and we will work from there :wink:
