How often does a cockatiel lay eggs?

Cockatiels are prolific egg layers and can lay up to 12 eggs per clutch, with multiple clutches possible in a single breeding season. Clutch frequency varies depending on several factors, including the age of the hen, the time of year, and environmental conditions.

Typically, cockatiels lay eggs at intervals of 2 to 3 days within a clutch, and most clutches contain an average of 4-6 eggs. The eggs are white or pale blue and usually take around 18-20 days to hatch.
