There is 3 birds in the cage 2 of the birds are the parents and the other 1 is the dads brother. What should I do with the dads brother? The brother hasn't had any agressive attitude near the eggs yet. What should I do? Please help me.
Im scared for the eggs and the parents.

I would put both males in a seperate cage, I have cockateils and I left both mom and dad in the cage and the eggs did not make it. Hope this helps

I assume you have a nest box for the eggs. If not, get one quick. They sell them in pet stores. If the birds have not started sitting on the eggs yet, you can take the brother out. LEAVE THE DAD IN. The mom and dad take turns sitting on the eggs and they both feed the chicks. If they have already started sitting, don't take the dad's brother out; any such change will upset the parents and endanger the eggs.

Take the brother OUT and house him somewhere else in his own cage. A pair of cockatiels should be alone together without any other birds in the cage when breeding. Otherwise the parents or the intruder will kill the babies.

normally extra birds in the same cage will leave the eggs or
young alone

I agree with putting the brother in another cage.

new cage? across the room? if he hasn't shown any agressive tendencies yet that's good. this is the best time to move him. besides, it sounds as if they're a bit cramped. XD

You need to seperat the Dad's brother from the rest of the family.
He is very likely to be aggressive towrds the babies when they hatch.

They should all be fine where they are, cocatiels are very social and placid birds by nature so you shouldn't have any trouble with the extra fella.
