I have a pair of cockatiels that have recently layed an egg. During the day, both birds nest on the egg, but at night neither do. They sleep outside of the nest box.
Will this egg hatch if it is fertile, or not if they don’t sit on it at night?
What should I do?
How do you candle an egg?

my neighbors recently cut down trees and knocked down a birds nest that was in it (yesterday) well today i looked out my window and seen my dog attacking something so i ran outside and my dogs were attacking one of the baby birds, i don’t think my dog seriously hurt it. i chased the bird out of my yard so my dogs would kill it. well like 2 hours later i heard a chirping noise outside my kitchen window, i went outside and there was the baby bird! i felt bad so now i have it on my front porch and i don’t no what to do w/ it. i also seen one of its siblings on my neighbors front yard, should i get that bird to and put them in the box together? what should i feed them? im just leaving them on my front porch so they can fly away whenever they want to. advice? whenever i try to set the bird free it keeps coming back.

The people next door to me dicided to get 2 kittens, we did not mind until they started to tease are dogs. Not only that we had a birds nest in 2006 we watched them, and saw them hatch and they were just about to fly, then the cats got them and killed them! This morning we dicided to clean are bird box out, we opened it up and what do we find the bodies of 6 bluetits! The cats got the mother, Do you thinks its fair? what should we do??
i no its what cats do but in total they have killed over 10 birds, also bluetits are rare.
we had a birds nest in the back yard. but our cat scared it away. there was one egg in the nest and ive created a sort of incubator for it(a cardboard box,some cottton wool and a light bulb) but the egg was left for a few hours and im just wondering how long it could survive without heat from its mother.
any help would be much appreciated

Great weather, left door opened for a couple of days- noticed a nest built in a box on my shelve. I can not leave door open b/c I have dogs that stay inside so if I move the box slowly outside will she still use it- just all the hard work – no eggs yet…

My neighbors who are in their 80′s, were cutting their vines and found this nest. I don’t know why, but they put the nest on their patio and just left it. It has been 2 days and 98 degrees outside. My son who is 8yrs old found the nest while over there and brought them home. He is begging me to save them…..Can I do anything? Is it to late?
We kept them in the nest, put the nest in a shoe box with a towel around it and he has a beanie baby sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.
I know odds are against us……but if there is any thing I can do. I have to try for my son. PLEASE, Help me!!!!
