Bird eating and sleeping more often during mating season.

what does it mean if my cockatiel is wating a lot more and sleeping mire often

Hi,

If she has a mate and they are starting to nest, she may be getting ready to lay eggs. But if you think she is sick, you should take her to an avian vet. Any change in eating and sleeping habits can be a sign of illness.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
