This is the first time my cockatiels have laid eggs. The first one was on the cage floor but I may have saved it by putting it in a nest box with bird nesting within 24 hrs. However, that’s not my biggest concern. One of the 6 eggs has a small crack that goes lengthwise. It is probably a half an inch if even. I hear colorless nail polish works but I only have colored polish! Anything else that may work???? I don’t have a car right now to get to the drugstore. I’m afraid time is running out. Also, the parents are EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE AND PROTECTIVE. Even the normally sweet female, bit me very hard and it’s bleeding profusely. By the way, should I see a doctor? I’m up to date on tetnus. I’d really like these eggs to hatch! I’ve been researching a lot and have 4 books on ‘tiels but none list anything but the nail polish. PLEASE HELP!!!! One more thing for fun, the male is a white faced pied and the female is a white face with just a dab of grey on one wing, what (Cont’d)
might the babies look like? And if I sell the babies (provided they make it), how much should I ask? And should I try hand raising maybe atleast one or two of them so they are more people friendly? THANKS FOR ALL ADVICE! HOPEFULLY, YOU HAVE SAVED A FUTURE LITTLE ‘TIEL! BY THE WAY, AREN’T BABY ‘TIELS ADORABLE AROUND 4 weeks old when they just start to get feathers? Cute, in that funny looking way like a bulldog puppy???
