just getting started

[sharonatiel]

Hi, just bought my first big walk in cage and introducing my one and only regular grey coloured cockatiel to a girl. I would love any tips on getting started re; breeding and are they compatible with finches eg. gouldians? Thanking you, sharonatiel

Hi Sharontiel, big welcome to our great forum. Congrats on your new walk in aviary. I don't know anything about gouldians, but tiels are usually compatible with most birds. Let your tiels get to know each other first before introducing a nest box, so that way they can get to bond to each other first. Before you know it as long as they are a girl & boy they will be preening each other & love will be in the air. Plenty of tiel breeders here so any other questions just ask away and I'm sure many of the friendly folk here will be only too willing to help you. Cheers Anna

Thankyou for the lovely welcome, I think this could be the start of some exciting birdiness in my life(which every mother of 3 boys need!!) I think I will concentrate on tiels first, they are certainly terrific to watch.

Hi Sharonatiel, welcokme to the forum!
. I have started breeding tiels this year, and it's wonderful, most of the time. I am handrearing babies at the moment too.
You'll get plenty of good, sympathetic advice from the many great breeders here. Best wishes on your new 'couple'.
