Question
Hi Carly, I have 3 baby cockatiels, they are sticking thier heads out of the nest box, calling for food (born 12-24-08)(I'm guessing) and the parents are still feeding them, and read the other lady's question about hers laying eggs while still having a baby their feeding.  Do I take the baby's and put them in the bottom of the cage in a little box like shallow nest?  or do I leave them in the box, i don't want them to have any more babies....I have been supplementing thier diet once or twice a day with baby bird formula, and wondered if it was time to get the nesting box out...please advise me, I appreciate it so much, Billie  

Answer
Hello,
I am not sure what your question is here, would you mind sending me a follow up with a more clear question?

Sorry for the trouble,
Carly


If you are asking how to prevent your cockatiels from having more chicks, just take the nest box out of the cage, and/or crack the eggs as they are laid.
