Cockatiels


Hello there, I am a new member as well as a new breeder My cockatiels that I have had for 2 years now just had there first clutch of babies (3) I was so happy when I saw the little guys in the nest box. But I have decided to let her feed the babies and save me the time and sleep because I am new at this and so is she I wanted her to have the joy of raising her own babies I have been holding them every other day from the time they got there eyes. But they are still kind of scared when I am feeding and when I take them out they do the hissing and screaming if I continue to hold them will they come to realize I am not going to hurt them? The oldest one is 18 days old and he sits with me when I get on the computer and after like 5 mins he chills out. Is there any thing I can do more to tame them down? If anyone has anything they can tell me or suggest I would take it into consiteration Please help Thanks again

I raise Cockatiels, Parakeets and Lovebirds. Do continue to hold the babies just make sure you aren't stressing mom out to much where she feels like your invading, I had a female stop feeding so make sure you have a syringe on hand.
