baby cockatiels

Two of my babies have left the next box, two are reluctant, I’ll give it a few more day. Their parents are already attempting to mate again, how do i stop this?

Hi,

Removing the nest box usually stops this. And without the box, they can’t care for the eggs. If she lays more before the others leave the nest, just remove the eggs.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
