Ok is it possible if you got a femal budgie from a petshop that is already pregnant? and say you don’t have a male bird also, you only have 1 parakeet so if the parakeet was already pregnant when you got her will her eggs hatch and the birds be ok or will there have to be a male one to like fertilize the eggs or so,ething or is there a product from the store u can pour on the eggsthe part the male usally does whatever the male does lol so basicly i mean if you buy just a girl parakeet and it is already pregnant will it be able to lay eggs and have them succesfully or do you need a male bird or is there some prooduct to take the males place or do you need nothing except a nesting box and the female will lay succesfully? and if not how do you tell if there pregnant and how do you tell if there pregnant but the eggs are stuck in them and is there a way for her to still llive if the eggs are stuck.
Well I have a couple Q’s please answer thanks!

Can someone fill me in on all budgie care. Here are some of the following things i NEED to know.
Minimum cage size
How many toys in a cage at one time
cage bar spacing
feeding requirements
vet care cost
anything else i need to know
Also i know a good petstore called Pet A Rama. I trust them. One time when i was buying a hamster, i was about to buy the most expensive cage they had when their rodent specialist came over and said it was a horrible cage. She pointed me out a cheaper cage that she said was much better and my hamster loves it. Also my hamster i got from the is the sweetest thing ever. I’m wondering rather I should buy a bird them or from a breeder. i bought the hamster from them because it won’t live very long. I figure the bird will live longer and i want it to be nice.
I really need help on the petstore thing. So should i buy it at the petstore or from a breeder? The bird will probably be long living member of my family….so should i risk getting it from a petstore?
I heard a varied diet helps to increase the lifespan of these birds. Someone suggested fresh fruits and vegetables. How, and what can I feed my budgie?
I got a nesting box, and every time i put her in there she runs away. The male also hates it, but the 2 birds love each other.
i’ve had a male and female budgie for over a year. Who i feel are clearly bonded because they always feed each other, preen, and the male is always singing to the female. Lately they have been flying around the cage more and when i play budgie sounds ( don’t want to get more budgies to encourage them) the male sings and gets excited. The male has been rubbing his head and beak to his favorite perch and the female as been knawing on it. I’ve been feeding them enriched bird seed with vegies mixed in. As well as fresh fruits, vegies, and crushed egg and of course a cuttle bone. I have a nesting box lightly dusted with aspen shaving as well as some aspen shavings in a container by a perch to encourage the female to put it in the box. I also have some baby bird hand feeding formula just in case. They are in my bathroom where they get a lot of light and the lest amount of interaction from us, my cat, and dogs as they will ever be able to get. I did have to move them there so i don’t know it that will of caused them stress and made them not breed is so how long until they do? I’ve done EVERYTHING to get them to breed and i’ve been trying for a week now. I’m not sure if they are “in season” I tried to get some pics but i couldn’t figure out how to get them up. So the male’s cere is a deep deep blue, while the females cere is crusty and darkish brown with white around the nostrils. I know that when the females cere is deep brown they are ready to breed but my female is also albino so that might change how it looks.
So i need to know if they are ready to breed and if what i’m doing is correct to help them breed. If there is anything else i can do to encourage them to breed it would help SO much!
PLEASE NO nonsense answers i’ve gone all over the interent and i really need some info. I know that they will breed in their own time but i want it to be as soon as possible. Thanks to those who answer!
They get plenty of noise in the bathroom because they are right by a window and can hear the birds outside.
Her cere has had white by the nostrils for about a week what does this mean? It doesn’t seem to be getting whiter but her entire cere is darker than it was a few weeks ago. PLEASE HELP i need info!
Yes i’m positve they are male and female and i’ve had them for over a year the males stipes on his head are gone.

I have a male and female budgie and they are both bonded and I have all the supplies for breeding such as a nestbox, aspenshavings,and baby bird hand feeding formula. But the birds seem scared of the nesting box and don’t want to go inside. I tried introdusing it slowly by putting it outside of the cage while playing clam music but they don’t look like they are very interested in the box. What should i do to get them intrested in going inside? Also is there anything i can do to get them in the mood? 
Any info would be really helpful thanks!
Hello, my pair’s third clutch was finally successful. But only one chick made it outta the egg.
so anyway, it is healthy. and the pair is breeding again 
i freaked out that the hen would die (it happened to my previous bird,, laid too much eggs.it bcam very weak and died), so i shifted the 2 birds and the one chick to a normal cage without a nest box (hoping that they would stop mating).. the chick can sit properly on the perch and move around.
Is this okay?? will the parents feed the chick??? it is not weaned yet. otherwise i wouldn’t have a problem. it has been 3 hours since i moved them and the chick has not been fed yet. or should i keep the mother and the chick in the breeding cage and move the dad to the normal cage?
