I have two parakeets (budgies) and two doves. I want to build an aviary in my backyard for my birds (I don’t like seeing them in a small cage) I live in the san jose, ca area and I was wondering if my parakeets would be fine living outside if the have nest boxes to sleep in? My parakeets are not tamed in any way so I am not worried about keeping them tamed or anything like that.

I have two cockatiels: one pearl and one pied type, which are both about 3 or 4 years old. I know the pied one is a female (it layed 3 eggs so far), but I am not sure if the other one is a male or female. Anyway, last week I found the pearl cockatiel behind a wardrobe, which is about 3 inches away from the wall. He/she was standing there next to the first egg I have seen from them. I have no idea how long it has been there, but I shined a light on it to see if there was anything in it. It was completely empty and clear. I bought them a nest box and a nest, which I put inside their cage. Because the wardrobe was too far from their cage and food, I moved the egg into the nestbox, and provided them with cotton balls and tissue paper outside of the nest box, so they could rearrange it however they want. Since then, they have not touched any of it, and they just ignore the egg. This morning, the female layed another egg in the corner of the cage, which is surrounded by one side of the nest box, and piles of cotton and tissues. I then moved the first egg from the nest box to next to the second egg in the corner. I still have not seen them sit on or have anything to do with either of the two eggs, ever since I moved the first one from behind the wardrobe. Even when I reach to touch the eggs, they don’t show any type of aggresiveness toward me. about 5 hours later, a third egg was laid. This time it was outside of the cage, and next to a woven basket, which is close to their cage. I decided to leave that egg their for now, but still, the birds are paying no attention to the eggs- even the new ones. I noticed the female makes light but unusual breathing noises once in a while. I am mostly concerned about my bird’s condition after laying eggs, and I am sure there will be more. I provided enough food and extra calcium also. So, what should I do with, and where should I put each of the three eggs? What should I do if neither of the birds sit on them or pay attention to them? Or if they lay more? Any advice for the health of the female? HELP ME PLEASE!! THANK YOU…
Oh, and they would not go into the nest box or use the nest.

I have a 5 yr old Alexandrine (f) who has a partner Shrek at 5 yrs (m) who i havent seen mate in/out the cage but did go in their nesting box many times… im not sure if they did anything… they are tame birds. Alex laid her first egg on Sunday nite/monday morning & her 2nd tonight (Wednesday). If she has two eggs does that mean they could be fertile? Or can she have a full clutch and none of them be fertile? I dont want to get too excited as it might not be possible. The reason why i have my doubts about the male is because he has no tail (he chews it off himself, has never grown very long but always trims it) he knows how to balance without his tail, i have noticed in the last 3 months they have been doing signals to one another (Alex shoving her bum in the air – bird kissing) but never seen him do his thing in/out side the cage… as i stated maybe in the nesting box they did something i cant be so sure… does this mean i have to wait 25-28days (incubation) to find out whether they will become baby birds?

She says I am forcing it to be a cannibal, but I am not forcing it. Anything fried, french fries, nuggetts, this bird loves. And it begs me to feed it some. So do you think there is something wrong with feeding a bird to a bird?

this is really important and i really need an answer. My bird just laid an eggg….and this will be the 3rd set she has laid in a row. I really don’t want anything bad to happen to her. I went downstairs to take the nesting box of because the babies all fledged and there was an egg. How can i stop her from laying them. If i cant stop it, what can i give to her to keep her healthy? Thanks!!
she is a parakeet
JESUS SAID, “TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR YOUR LIFE, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.”–Don’t worry about whether you’re going to have anything to eat or enough to wear. He says that you’re not even to worry about the necessities of life! “Is not the life more than meat, & the body than raiment?” Mat:6:25 “BEHOLD THE FOWLS OF THE AIR: FOR THEY SOW NOT, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them.”–The birds don’t reap & store up for the future! “Are you not much better than they?”Mat:6:26–”If I feed the birds, don’t you think I’m going to feed you?” Don’t you think He’s more concerned about you?”THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT”–that means fretting, worried, anxious thought. Don’t worry about, “What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles”–the World–”seek”. Mat.6:31That’s all the Worldly people live for, that’s all they work for
!–To have something to eat, drink, wear & live in. They’re slaves of things! “For your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.” Mat:6:32
BUT “SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD & HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; & all these things shall be added unto you!” Mat:6:33 Put God’s Kingdom first! Just obey the Lord & He’ll do all the rest! Drop your “nets”, follow Jesus, do His work, witness, win souls, go into all the World & preach the Gospel to every creature! Take care of God’s business & He’ll take care of you!–Because that is His business, taking care of you! So how do you so called “Christians” apply this to you? Oh wait let me guess it doen’t!? So can you tell me “Christians” what exactly DOES apply’s to YOU in YOUR Bible??
If you read it you would know!!!!! = S
OMG!!!! Did any one even read the question..???!!
By the way this is not a rant!!
Oh I think “inslaveme” is the only one who read what I said!!
O.k. basically what I’m saying is : if this does applys to you, why aren’t you obeying your “God”?? If it doen’t apply to you (which it seems there are a whole lot of things that don’t or at least thats what you say!) , then what the hell does???
Why is this insulting..???!! You must NOT have read what I said!!!!! I’m shocked that you would say this is insulting!!
You guys are going to make me cry..I ask a sincere question, but you just say I’m insulting you & just ranting away!?? = S…
Oh & by the way almost all my ” ranting” was what your Jesus said!! I only said a few words myself at the end!! Proves how much you care about him!! Or that means you really didn’t read what I said!! = S
Oh & by the way “Sernaach” did you see what “Randy C” Wrote..?? That should give you a preety good idea about where I get this “Crazy idea ” from!!!!
