CR>Our cockatiel Tony has layed 3 eggs with Mick.  She has layed a clutch
CR>before but all infertle.  (Mick dosn't get what he is supposed to do when
CR>Tony has been coaxed into mating.)  We hope that this time there will be
CR>a fertile egg but since this is the pairs 2nd clutch I expect that there 
wil
CR>be a few more before success.  Excecialy since Mick seems to be clueless.
I've got a pair of 'tiels like that. She goes into the box and lays
eggs, but he never touches her! He sits outside the box and sings the
'I'm a big important male bird' song all day. They just don't seem to
get it...although I *did* catch them doing the 'wild thing' in the big
flight cage a few months back. I haven't set them up in a separate
cage with a nest box since, though. Maybe after the holidays...
