do you have to get a nest box, or can u use a round nest made of twigs? I have an open round one in the cage.?
I have had my budgie Sammi for about 3 years and our neighbors just moved and gave us their bird Coco. Sammi is the female and Coco is the male he is about the same age. I have a nice big cage lots of toys and they love the bottom of the cage filled with the bedding you use for hamsters. I don’t really want to put a nest box in there. I just caught them mating and was wondering if she will lay her eggs without a nest box.
Traditions or habits picked up from your parents?
I’m happy to say that I have picked up a few traditions/habits from my Dad who passed away 3 years ago. He always made sure we had a good Christmas; he always made sure to feed the wild birds in the wintertime and pre-warms his coffee mug before pouring coffee in it…. A bit quirky, but I like it. How about you?

Worried! I have to move in January. What will happen to the wild birds I feed daily?
I live in the high country where it snows occasionally and have to move in January. I’ve been feeding the local finches and many assorted birds for almost 3 years through every season. I’m worried about how they will do. I know some have come to depend on me. Should I wean them from the seed I offer them….or??? I’m very worried about this.

I have a boy and girl cockateil, I found an egg in the corner of the cage a couple minutes ago, what do i do?
They are both about 3 years old, i figured out that one is a male and one is a female (based on cheek color/social actions) I found an egg at the corner of the cage like 20 minutes ago, and the bird that was a bit aggressive, had bright cheek spots, and was very noisy (which i learned is the male) is sitting on the egg, and the calm, more dull colored cheek spots, (female) is sitting on a perch in the cage. Im pretty sure its fertilized, since theres a male and female in the cage, but idk. What do i do?? I would love to be a grandma of a baby bird 
Should i put a nest box or paper shreddings in the corner with the egg? Can i touch the egg or will the parents stop caring for it if i do? How do i put the egg on the nestbox/paper shreddings?? What should i start feeding them? I’m a horse expert not a bird expert D:
if i sit in front of the cage and watch, the bird that has been sitting on the egg (supposedly the male) first goes to the center of the cage, looks up at the other bird (supposedly the female) then attempts to get near her, but when he gets close he shows aggression. but the bird who has been laying on the egg shows all the signs of being a male, but i see that it looks like he’s the one who laid the egg because his lower stomach is fat, or it may just be the feathers fluffed up.
also, when if i get a nesting box, should i put it inside the cage? or outside the cage with a little tunnel connecting to it? My dad’s friend’s daughter (sorry long relation there lol) had a cage and a tunnel connecting to a nesting box, is it better that way or just a nesting box inside the cage?-
sad news, when i checked on the egg it was cracked open because daddy squeezed him between the bars at the bottom of the cage. i died a little bit on the inside when i had to take out the egg and see the yoke dripping out 
are they going to continue breeding? Was that even a fertile egg?
just a small question, why must i take the baby birds from the parents and put them in a brooder? wouldnt that make them strangers to their parents? sorry for all the questions, when it comes to bird breeding i’m retarded lol

Whats wrong with my parakeets?
I have 3 pet parakeets. I’ve had them for about 2-3 years and they are in my classroom. When I open their cage to feed & water them they act like I’m going to eat them for dinner or something. And them make such a mess, they will kick all of their bird food out and then I will come the next day and give them new food and they act like they are starving, whats wrong with them?
