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.

How many birds in this cage?

Hi i keep my a pair of lovebird in a cage and the size of it is, height 35″ and width 35″ and breth 25″ inches and a nest box of 12 x 12 x 20″ with a partition with 2 difrent hole for entrance, my question is can i add 2 more birds to it? I have a doubt tat d pair i have now are either both male or female and they both try to mate each other turn by turn.

Found a baby bird tonight Please Help!?

My dog was barking outside and would not stop! I went outside to look and it was a baby bird! Me and my mom put him in a box. He can’t fly yet but has feathers and hops around trying to fly. Soon he fell asleep in the box. My step-dad is going to be home soon and we are going to put him back in the nest. Do you think his mom may have left him? What things should we give him to keep him alive for a couple more hours?

What do I do with bird egg I found?

So I went outside today and I saw two little blue brown-speckled eggs cracked open on the grass. One was just a shell the other had yolk pouring out. Then I found one that seems in tact. I put some grass in a box and put the egg in. The I put that under a lamp. What do I do now? I did some research saying it could be dead already and that I have to keep turning the egg so the embryo doesn’t stick to the egg. I saw a nest it must have fallen out of but it’s too high up for me to reach and theres wasps in there so I’m not going near it.

Anyone know how to care for bird eggs? What do I do if it hatches?

Can we move this new bird’s nest without hurting the bird?

We are having electrical problems in our home and less than a 3 days ago it was just and old breaker box. Now a bird has made a nest on top of it and the electrician is due tomorrow! We got close to it and the bird doesn’t move and I fear she’s laying eggs or already has. How and where could we move the nest if the breaker box needs replacing (which it probably does)? There are lots of cats in the neighborhood and we don’t have trees in our yard.
It’s impossible to leave the bird’s nest there. Our electrical problem is a major fire hazard and if it’s not in the breaker box, we’ll leave the nest alone, but diagnostics so far say it IS the breaker box so either the nest gets destroyed or we try to move it responsibly.

I have an empty box on my balcony & a bird has apparently made it her nest; its got 2 eggs in it. What should?

I do?
