Let's talk about what diseases Cockatiels have. In cockatiels you have probably seen that eye infection is the most common. Why does eye infection occur? The dirt in your cage can catch your bird infection because of this dirt or your bird is deficient in Vitamin E. This is also the reason why infection has been seen in the eyes of birds.

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.
