Ok, I have been trying to Breed my budgies for quite some time, and I just recently caged the two I am trying to breed together with a nest box. They have been spending a lot of time in the nest box together and yesterday my female laid her first egg.
In all I have 5 birds. Alexander Flury(Alex for short) a Lutino ‘Teil. Lilly my nesting female green budgie. Baby, Lilly’s Mate. Kitten My lone female Budgie. And Sweety, My Ash variety Ring Necked Dove. They are free flight except for the dove as she is older. And the Nesting pair I have kept caged to Prevent an egg cracking inside Lilly and getting infected.
I have hand raised birds before(Rehabilatating wild American Robin chicks) And I have a *VERY* good Avain vet. I have been bird keeping for many years and this is the first time my birds have bred. Anybody have any advise for me?
Maybe I didn’t make it all that clear. I have the basics covered, Cuttle bone, egg food, dried greens, millet etc. Im just looking for misc advice. I have read up already and I suppose Im just making sure I didn’t forget anything important. I have a humidifier running to help the laying and hatching processs. Im keeping the room warm.
