my parakeet only laid 2 eggs in her first clutch? I didn’t want her to breed or try to make her breed but she did with one of my boy birds and she only laid two, then I got her a nest box and she cracked them. I read that they do this when they know they won’t live. She is also 10 months old which is too young. Why did she only lay 2 when a full clutch is 4-6 or more? Thanks.
i have been looking all over the websites and i think its a boy and a girl here’s a video the first bird the blue it above the beak is dark blue and the other bird is a Lite-ishy blue and i was kinda hoping that IF they are boy and girl tell me all you can about how they can have babies ? what Size cadge i need and how big should the nesting box be? and where can i get one or what could i use for one

I origanally bought for parakeets, two boys and two girls. At least thats what i thought. Now a little less than a year later the two who I thought were grls started interaacting more. the one’spiece of skin above the beak was pink and the other one’s has always been a rough, crusty tanish coulor. Now a couple aof days ago the one with the pink beak’s beak has started to turn a blueish coulor and the one with the crusty tan beak is starting to get a round belly about the size of half of a chicken egg rght above her legs and she is really lazy and just eats and drinks unless she’s with the other bird then she’s happy. They do a lot of mouth to mouth but im not shure if they’re feeding each other. I want to add on to the cage and make it even bigger than it is now and put a nesting box in that, but im not sure what to do, i hope that someone out there can give me few answers and tips. Thank you. An if you can send me anything that can help me with this my e-mail is tbone1995mb@gmail.com

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

I have two boy and two girl parakeets. Well my one girl zoey is in and out of her nesting box all day she goes in only for a minute or two at a time though. She has not yet laid any eggs in her life but i want her too! Do you think she could be ready to lay an egg? Also will the other birds in the cage stop her from wanting to lay eggs? this has been going on a while now!! thanks
i have 4 parakeets…2 boys and 2 girls. I saw one boy (sydney) and one girl (pudge) mate a few weeks ago but no eggs. My other girl zoey has been in and out of her nesting box very often but laid no eggs at all. Occasionally i find pudge in the box or looking in there but today i saw her sitting in the corner of the cage. When i went near it she went back up top and she is eating and drinking fine.Could she be sick or is she going to lay an egg? Also is there a chance zoey may lay an egg? I do know a lot about birds but i am nervous for pudge she is my oldest one and i love her
I have two budgies a boy and a girl. The girl as been trying to nest so i bought her a nest box. But how do I know if she actually is pregant or not?
