The answer to all is probably, "No." However, I'll elaborate more in my next post. I hope your Rosy Bourke will bring you much joy.Gail A.

I'm not sure where else to ask a question...Hi,<br /><br />I'm not sure where else to ask a question, so I hope here is okay.<br /><br />I have a female pet cockatiel. She's going on 6 years old, and has not yet demonstrated any wish to lay eggs (although she has not had a mate). I do not wish her to start laying eggs - even though they'd be infertile - as I am worried about egg-binding, and other health issues.<br /><br />This weekend, I will be bringing home a young male Rosey Bourke's. I've read from your posts that they will feed any female Bourke's or Splendid - sometimes even a less dominant male, and I was wondering if they would try that with a different species, as well (ie. my cockatiel)?<br /><br />Should I be worried about him triggering her motherly instincts? Also, will he become protective of her, and become aggressive to me?<br /><br />Thank you for your help,<br />ChloeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01952229910789426027noreply@blogger.com
