Your life does, the birds who died because you allowed them to bring young into this world don't., but yes, life goes on.
how can you guarantee that they get the right amount? They may not use the mineral block. Supplements decay over time and quite quickly in water, also the right amount has to be drank, there's no guarante. Breeding puts stress on the body no matter many supplements you give. Why do you think female dairy cows only live around 6 years when the average life span is 25 years...Egg binding can potentially be avoided with mineral blocks and other suppliments
Getting pregnant can be avoided by taking/using contraception yet women still get pregnant. Some women are more prone to getting than others. Cockatiels are known for chronic egg laying its in their genetics through selective and carless breeding. You are knowingly putting your birds lives at risk.
Why not keep them? Sounds very money motivated IMO.off to the bird specialty store in Ann Arbor.
@Hankmacaw is very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to the medical side for birds! They have a lot of good advice and suggestions for what we should ask non-avian vets or in times when seeing a vet may take a few days. They have helped 100s of ppl and saved many parrots lives from what have seen on this forum. They are a highly regarded member and know what they are talking about.@Hankmacaw is the first female tiel I've had in my life, so no, I don't automatically know how to tell when a hen is about to lay, thank you
Egg binding is serious.
