Unfortunately, it appears that Mystic's eggs are both infertile. This could be from a multitude of reasons, but since she appears to be healthy, we believe it is from age. While 8 is not in any way old for a cockatiel, they are typically only bred until they are 10. So, she is retiring as a breeder. However, we will be holding onto her and her mate Steve as fosters. We have discovered that, while they will not accept chicks, they very readily accept eggs.
We found this out because Tweety has laid 4 eggs so far! We have transferred them to mystic's box for her and Steve to foster. So far, all appear fertile and she may still lay another egg or two!
Chacha and Tango have been working their box and mating frequently, so we are expecting eggs from them in the very near future!
If anyone is interested in adding a feathered friend to their life, or have any questions please email us at [email protected]. Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of mud season (spring)!
