Hi Sally, whereabouts are you? I have a brooder you could borrow. You need to make sure you supply some form of humidity for the baby - a small tub or cup with water in it (with a lid on as baby gets a bit bigger!). You've done really well to get Peanut to this stage as cockatiels really aren't the easiest to rear. It's easier to rear an african grey or macaw than a tiny little cockatiel! The right temperature and humidity is vital for the crop to function properly. As is the food being the correct temperature.

There's nothing quite like rearing your first baby. If you need any help or advice please feel free to contact me, and if you are close enough you are more than welcome to borrow my brooder. Good luck xx
