Question
if the mom and dad cockatiels are taking care of the babies is there anything i should do to help or just let them be?
Connie,
First, I'm sorry that it took me so long to answer your question. I had a series of family issues which took me away from the computer for a while.
Second, you have probably already weaned your babies by now, but yes, if the mom and dad cockatiels are taking care of the babies, there is nothing you should do other than occasionally clean the nest and handle the babies.
I hope your babies are doing well.
