Hello,
I am Thinking about breeding green cheek conures, and had a few questions.
First off I have bred cockatiels twice (successfully for the most part) handfeeding the last clutch.
So question #1
Is there much difference breeding gcc’s than cockatiels?
Question #2
Is handfeeding gcc’s very different from cockatiels?
Question #3
Aside from them liking to pull out their nesting material is there any other unusual quirks I should know about?
Question #4
Can you inspect the nesting box? My cockatiels generally let me check out the nesting box when they weren’t in it, but having a gcc I know they can be much more aggressive in general.
Question #5
Can I use alfalfa pellets as nesting material? Will it crack the eggs? I used it as brooder material for my cockatiels while I was handfeeding them and they were picking at it a lot so I want to use something that is edible.
If you have any other advice or tip they would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
