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.

So I have 4 birds;
3 of them are a year old,
and the other is a year and 3 months,
i have 2 boys and 2 girls,
each budgie has a partner, the partners always kiss, clean and play withe achother,
i put a nesting box in the cage, and baught some cotten thingiies and put them in,
when do you think they will start mating? i know they are mature, from they’re appearance, but still, when do you think they will start?
ok so i breed budgies i have been for about 2 years now i have an out door cage and it had 3 budgie pairs in it, some idiot opened the cage and let one of my male budgies out when that happened i took out the female so she wouldn’t harm the other nesting pairs young, then i found 2 massacred budgie babies about a week later so i took out the other pair and put the remaining hen back in the out door cage with the breeding pair, then today i went and checked all the birds i looked in the nesting box and the female that has the 1 remaining baby and there was blood spread all over the nesting box and on the baby budgie and all over the mothers face, so should i and can i transfer a baby chic??
Well I have quite a big aviary in the backyard with 5 budgies in it. 3 are male & 3 are female. Theres 3 nesting boxes and lately when i’ve been checking the birds I have found eggs on the floor, cracked. Today i went and checked on them to see 1 egg in the nesting box, but hours later i checked them again and it was on the floor, cracked. I’m not sure whats happening? Any help? Thanks
The female budgies cere is brown and crusty. I just wanna know should i be expecting eggs?
I know that alot of people ask questions like the questions that I need help on but i need a little bit more of information…
1.My female parakeet has a white and light-blue cere, can it breed without the cere changing to brown or must it turn brown for it to breed?
2.I don’t know if the male bird that i think is the male is really a male…His cere at the bottom is dark purple and the top of the cere varies from light blue to dark blue…Is it a male?
3.What size cage dimensions would be appropriate for breeding budgies?
4.And what size nesting box?
Thanks for your time:)
I have a few budgies currently and I’m attempting to breed a pair. Myllo is a Violet male and Kyra is a yellow and blue Pied female. They bonded when I first got them, but now they arnt bonded anymore. They stay on opposite ends of the cage, and when they are near one another, they dont clean or feed eachother at all. They just sit there. They have a very nice nest box in the cage and a very large cage when lots of toys and food and water mineral block and everything. There very happy birds other than the fact that they wont bond with one another. Should I buy another female and attempt to bond it Myllo. Or another male and bond it to Kyra? Or should I get a totaly new breeding pair all together?
What can I do to get them to bond again?
Please help, thanks.
