My cockatiel Hei-Hei was believed to be a boy but after bawling my eyes out thinking that he was dying, he laid an egg which means he is actually a she! I know nothing about egg laying and she’s an only child. She only laid one and I don’t know if she’s supposed to lay more than that especially since they’re not fertilized. I need as much help as possible!!!

A cockatiel hen can lay a clutch of eggs as many as 5-7. Make sure she has plenty of calcium in her diet.

She refuses to eat any type of fruits or vegetables I’ve been trying ever since she was a little weaned hatchling and she could actually eat food but she refuses and only eats the pellets and the seeds I give her. She has two cuddle bones and I put supplements in her food but that’s all she’ll eat which kind of sucks. Any suggestions for this will help too!

Does she eat pellets? Having pellets as a base diet will help lots. If not, stick with the supplements. The cuttlefish bones don´t do much.

Yes her diet is mostly pellets and supplements with a little bit of seeds. I try to keep her eating mostly pellets since I know seeds don’t really do much for them health wise
