Birds don't actually get fat when they have an egg. :P Just their vent looks a bit swollen and their droppings get larger.

[my budgie billy]

this may sound stupid but whats a vent?.i dont know what my mum will say cuz she doesnt want her to be pregnant.:S :S :eek: :eek:

[Amy]

The vent is the bottom. :o

I don't know much about cockatiel breeding behavior, but don't they usually only mate if there is a nest box?
Not saying that a guy and a girl who like each other won't do what they do - especially if they live in the same cage... but I just thought they prefer nest boxes.
Did your mum know she had a boy and a girl together? Because I would have kept them seperate if I didn't want babies. Keep us updated on your Sally! :)

hi its late atm where i am and shes fluffed up ready to go to sleep.so i cant see her vent.also cuz i havnt got a nestbox what should i do put sawdust on the floor for when she lays the eggs? (if she does)

I had two cockatiels once and i never saw them breed and there wasn't a nest box but she layed four eggs and they hatched and thats how i got the cockatiel i have now :( sadly the parents died. but yes, i believe they can lay eggs with or without a nest box, mine did twice.

[my budgie billy]

thanks everyone for your help does anyone no how long it will be before she will lay the eggs (if she does)?
