Treating Candida in Baby Cockatiels
Candida in Cockatiels
Candida is a form of thrush or yeast infection. You can find Clever Cockatiels in the Cockatiel Breeders Category on The Pet Directory.It can occur in baby cockatiels or other hand reared parrot babies due to a few things including but not limited to:
* food at incorrect temperature
* feeding on top of a full crop (not waiting long enough between feeds for food to digest)
* germs from non-sterile feeding implements
* babies not kept at correct temperature, humidity, degree of darkness etc.
My vet suggested using Nilstat. You give 3 drops from an eyedropper directly into the beak. Do this 3 times a day until condition improves.
Here is some info on Nilstat from www.appgonline.com.au
Nilstat is used to treat a condition called oral candidiasis or thrush. This is an infection in the mouth caused by the fungus Candida and is marked by sore, creamy-yellow, raised patches in the mouth.
Nilstat is also used in infants to treat gut infections caused by Candida.
Nilstat belongs to a group of medicines called antifungal agents. It works by damaging the cell wall of the Candida fungus, causing it to die. Nilstat Oral Drops only work inside the mouth or gut. The amount of Nilstat absorbed into the bloodstream is minute and therefore is not effective for treating any other infections in the body.

Cockatiels - tame from the egg
The best way to tame Cockatiels and other parrots is right from the egg.
1. Begin with tame parents
2. Handle the eggs gently each day
3. Talk to the eggs and parents each day
4. Talk to the newly hatched chicks at least 3 times a day
5. Gently touch the newly babies' cheeks and beaks in the nest
6. As they grow pick them up gently and talk to them and stroke them in your hand
7. Offer hand rearing mix at correct temperature and consistency in the nest each day
8. Increase their hand rearing mix volumes and frequency of feeds as they grow
9. After they are fully feathered the time out of nest in your hand for cuddles should extend to 15 mins per session - Do that 3 times per day. Lots of cuddling, kissing and talking to them.
10. By the time the babies are ready to fledge they will be totally hand tamed.
11. Continue with the hand rearing mix for as long as they wish to have it.
11. After fledging handle them frequently and have them out of the cage for up to one hour at a time.
12. Leave them in the parents' cage whenever you are not handling them because the parents will teach them valuable lessons in 'birdhood' that you can't such as eating independently, preening and much more.
