The problem of egg binding has also been noticed in cockatiels. Therefore, at a young age, you should try not to take children from females. Only after you are at least 18 months old should you have a female breeding pair. Because the problem of egg binding is less in females after becoming an adult or after a maturity. Egg binding is more common in females at an early age. Secondly, if you continue to give calcium in your birds' diet regularly, then you will not find the problem of egg biding at all.
