Hello. I have a year old male tiel named Ollie. I got him when he was four months old. He's a sweetie, sings, says peak-a-boo, and is doing well, but we decided to get him a friend. I've been in touch with a breeder in my area, and she's got several babies who should be ready in about a month. There is one in particular that I fell in love with, a pastel faced pied, but it's too young to tell the sex. She's also got some lovely white faced pieds as well. So, at my request, she is getting two babies DNA tested. I mentioned being concerned about females due to the egg binding. I asked her about it and she told me that in 30 years of breeding and working with tiels, she's never encountered this problem. We both belong to a Facebook tiel page, and I read about someone losing a bird to egg binding about once every other week. So I'm putting this question out to you kind folks. Am I worrying for nothing about this? It really doesn't matter which sex I get, because I'm not interesting in breeding, and I've read up on how keep them from breeding (I know, not always foolproof!)
Opinions please ! Sorry about the length of this post, but I'm not known for my brevity. Lol. Thanks in advance!
