Posted on May 8, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Okay, so my yellow budgie laid eggs. So i moved her to a different cage with her nest box. First she was sitting at the end of the nest for a few hours, Then came out of the nest. Then she did the same thing, but she didn’t sit on them. It’s been a month since she laid eggs. So a month before, she sat on them for 24/7. ( moved her to different cage + place because bad enviroment. also moved other birds. ) Anyways why isnt she sitting on them?

PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!?

PLEASE I NEED HELP BREEDING MY BUDGIES! DON’T GO AWAY NOW IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING STAY!
I’ve had a male and female budgie for over a year. I an postive they are male and female and the males stripes are gone so he is old enough to breed. The female is albino so i can’t know for sure how old she is but i’ve had her for over a year as is said before. I feel they 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, plenty of noise from the animals outside, 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 tan with white around the nostrils. It has been this way for about a week before it was lighter than this. 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. Sorry this is so long and thanks to those who answer!

Female budgie is chasing male out of nest box. Should I remove one of the parents?

Posted on April 4, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I have two pairs of budgies in cages side by side, with a nest box in each of them. Both females laid no fewer than seven eggs. The first pair seem to be doing fine and getting the hang of feeding and protecting their young, and five of their babies have already hatched. The male is as crazy about the female as when they were mating, and she seems to relish the attention and care.

The second pair mated with mutual enthusiasm and the female seemed very willing and receptive. The male was very supportive to her and even helped set on the eggs. They now have four baby birds that have hatched. However, since the babies have started to hatch, it seems that the female has turned on the male. I watched him a couple of times with the babies, and I did not detect that he was too rough or anything; in fact, he would seek out their mouths to feed them. He has been very faithful in trying to feed his hen and their young. However, I have witnessed on probably several dozen occasions now how the female tries to keep him out of the box, or if he does get in, they seem to quarrel. I saw him “scolding” her a few times inside the box when she tried pecking him out, and he managed to hold his own at least for the time being. More often than not, though, all of a sudden I’ll hear “quarreling” followed by an angry screech and he exits that nest box like he’s been shot from a cannon. I can only surmise that she is giving him some nasty pecks.

I am concerned that he will get seriously hurt and that I should remove him for his own protection. But then, where does that leave the babies? I don’t want the babies to suffer for his absence. I’ve even wondered if I should remove the hen and let him care for the babies. It’s like all of a sudden mama bird can’t stand daddy bird, who seems very sweet and caring. Any constructive advice on this issue will be very welcome. Thanks in advance!
