I also know how to feed cockatiel chicks really well. I learned a few tricks over there as well. I'm going to learn about candling eggs. I want to get better in that area too.

what if they decide not to wait til May and start laying eggs earlier without the box?

Hmm. I never thought about that. That has never happened before. I guess I'll put them back in the aviary and when it's may, I'll just put them back in the breeding cave with the nest and let them get straight to it.

Maybe let them spend some more time alone together to get really bonded to each other, and then put them back in the aviary to cool off until it's time.

Did you see all those whiteface lutino girls in the results? That's gonna be nice.

Oh no, I'm not going to put them in the aviary right now. I'm going to put them back in the aviary if I see their intentions are to be more than friends.

I forgot to add: the relationship status with Levi and Maple is dating. I will change the title to mates when they are bonded and had at least 1 successful mate.

I know. It's extremely exciting! I can't wait for summer!! lol

I spoke too soon. Maple wanted to mate and Levi got on her but Levi didn't mate because he wanted to get out of the cage. He used her as a step stool. I'll pair them up on May. They are already bonded.

what does Maple have to do with all this?

What do you mean?

I just lost a track who is mating, sorry. Best of luck!

Oh. That was my fault. I noticed I kept putting Maya's name instead of Maple.
