what kind of nesting material do budgies need?

my bird has all the symptoms of she may be pregnant but i never saw my birds mate and she has been sitting at the bottom of the cage with her butt puffed out a little so i will buy a nesting box for her but what kind of material is needed?

I’m new to lovebirds. How do I handle a nesty stressed lovebird?

I have 2 young lovebirds (a 10 month old and a 4 month old). I don’t know their genders but the older one seems to be acting very nesty and shredding obsessively. My older bird’s vent is also kinda swollen but I don’t see an egg bump near his butt.
I’m not interested in breeding at all. But I just I want to know how I can help ease my bird’s stress? Should I get a nest box?
They also have separate sleeping cages at night and shares a flight cage during the day.
They’ve been to an avian vet. He said they’re healthy. As for separating them, the younger bird is already attached to the other. They’ve been sharing the play cage for a month and it would only stress them out more. Thanks for your input

My parakeet has an egg?

She has a bloody egg hanging out of her butt! I don’t have a nesting box!! I put the male parakeet out of the cage into another one. What should I do?!?! I bought 8 in1 UltraCare Nesting Material for all Birds, and put it in a little box at the bottom of the cage.

I need hen egg info,?

So we are going to start buying hens and eating there eggs they produce. The only problem is……. I have never been raised on a farm nor do I know the first thing about them (With the exception of picking the eggs from the coop when I was little at Friends house) I just feel like something is missing. Can you really just go by hens and eat there eggs without getting sick? How do I know I am not going to get some parasite by eating it? How do I know the egg wont make me sick if the chicken is sick? Does it even pass through to the egg? Do I wash the egg or not? I am studying my butt off so I know what to do with the hens and I am getting confused. What is a perch? What is a nesting box? what is a roosting box? do I need all three? Can you get bird flu by eating an contaminated egg? If not bird flu what can you get? How do you make sure the egg don’t get contaminated? Please!!!!! someone help me, I am begging you! So, I know my chickens will have everything they need.

Is my bird dying? She is sitting oddly on her eggs.?

My lovebird layed 3 eggs. she does not have a mate or a nest box. She is sitting on the eggs with her head on floor of the cage, her wings slightly unfurled and her butt slightly raised. She did not do this the last time she laid eggs. Should I take the eggs out? IS she eggbound?

are my birds about to mate?

lately my female bird has been making this high pitched squeeky sound everytime the male bird kisses her. i was wondering if she’s immitating a baby parakeet, to prepare him for fatherhood. also yesterday it looked like my female parakeet was sticking her butt in the air and he was standing close to her. are they going to mate soon?

we have a nesting box too, and my female parakeet is always in there, and recently my male parakeet stood by the opening but didnt go in.
