One experience with this: When I first bought Kirsche's father, I also got another male cherry-head in the same deal. I set up Cherry (Kirsche's mom) with "Red" because he was the bigger, bolder male of the two. They IMMEDIATELY went to nest, and produced Kirsche and Jazz. As soon as I pulled the babies to handfeed, Red began beating up on Cherry--HARD. So I removed him from the cage. Then we moved to this house, and I had to put him back in with her due to lack of space for cages. He beat her again. I still had the other male, "George", who I'd planned to sell. I had to swap Red for George to get Red away from Cherry. I put George in with Cherry. Within weeks, Cherry and George were sitting on fertile eggs--with Red in the cage right below them on the rack screaming the entire time! I eventually sold Red, and kept Cherry & George together--they are my breeding pair of cherry-heads now. But with my cockatiels, the bond seems to be stronger, and I have never been able to split up pairs and re-pair the birds with other mates.

Tom, I just had some birds sexed that were supposed to be proven breeders.SURE... Anyway, the hens were fine. They had egg follicles and everything. But the males had scar tissue on the testicles. This was only determined because we had the birds re-sexed surgically. If the doc hadn't looked inside we might never have known. He said one bird might've had babies before and possibly might still, but the other was a no-go. No way his cahones were gonna work. Then I had a Sun male re-sexed. The pair are 4 or 5 y/o now and have been laying eggs for a couple yrs. All infertile. But Mr. Sun looked ok on the inside.I asked the vet about culturing him and she said she felt if they looked that good and were producing eggs it was something else. She said to check out the perches, husbandry practices, check for mice that might frighten them,anything along these lines.

Go figure. I've certainly not had a representative sampling of cockatiels. I've had one cock, and two hens. In both cases, he seems to be much more "paired" to her than she is to him. For example, I can take her out of the room, and he screams the "I've lost my mate" scream, while she looks at her surroundings. They mate on occasion, and have laid infertile eggs, which they both sat on like champs. The last hen and he were a little more bonded; she would at least respond to his "I've lost my mate" screams, but would never initiate them. On the other hand, when I took her into the vet alone, she flirted with the male cockatiel who was kept in the vet's office. --- MacWoof 1.5.3 * Origin: Point of Enlightenment (1:109/615.2@fidonet) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 225 PARROTS Ref: CEZ00000 Date: 10/27/95 From: TRAFFIC V. 1.15 Time: 09:23pm \/To: ALL (Read 4 times) Subj: Traffic Report ********************************************************************* * Birdsoft Poster Record for Area: PARROTS * * Messages received by BirdSoft Online (1:135/907) * * Sat, Oct 21, 1995 - Fri, Oct 27, 1995 * ********************************************************************* Posts Name Average Size Address ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 13 Kathy Johnson 1752 1:104/234 10 Cherane Trajere 1126 1:104/234 6 Ellen Kessler 896 1:104/234 3 Dennis Lafontaine 597 1:114/299.0 3 Barbara Boden 938 1:3658/3 2 Fran Warwick 640 1:382/92.5 2 Joseph W.
