Anyone have pictures of a cockatiel's eggs being candled?

Question

I need a picture of a cockatiel's egg at it's 16th day of incubation. I need to see how it look inside a cockatiel egg on it's 16th day of incubation.

Another question: I have read on the computer that their will be peeping sounds coming from the egg before it hatches. I need to know how it sounds e.g peeep. How does it sound?

Answer 1

I used to have female cockatiels and to be honest, I forgot what happens lol so I did some research and found a few sites for you:
http://www.cockatielcottage.net/breeding.html
http://www.wingedwisdom.com/ww61e.htm
The first website gives you lots and lots of information about candled eggs and everything else

Also, just to be on the safe side, here's how to make an incubator out of household items (always a good thing to have on hand)

Here's a good group of pictures for candled eggs

If none of this helps you can also do searches of your own, just search for Candled Cockatiel eggs, Candle Cockatiel eggs, or what ever else you need to research. Also, go to your local petstore and ask if they have books on Cockatiels, it should be able to answer just about any question you may have. You can also go to an Avian Vet (a vet for birds) and you can ask them questions and they'll be able to answer them.
hope all of this information helps :)

Answer 2

i can get pictures of cockatiels eggs being candled but not on 16th day as all mine are past that, and they are forever laying (has an aviary full) so i'd have to wait for all young to hatch and grow to take em out for next lot, cockatiels hatch 21 days after incubation The first sign of piping (assuming thats what you meant) will be a small bump on the shell. This bump or pip will grow larger and develops more each day. By holding the egg close to your ear you can hear the chick working inside. Don't become over anxious and try to help the chick out, you will lose more than you will save.
