i used to have 3 parakeets bought from the pet store, but recently one of my parakeets keeps laying eggs and they hatch into little baby parakeets. currently i have 6 parakeets and i read that the female parakeet will keep on laying eggs. i’m not sure if i will have enough space to keep anymore new hatchlings, so is there any way to stop the female from laying eggs. or if i would want to start breeding and selling the birds, how would i do that? what would i need to do to get started? etc.
also: why does the male parakeet keep pushing the eggs out of the nesting box? he has already done that to at least 5 of the eggs the female laid and broken all of them. after that i separated the female from all the other birds. but i was wondering why the push the eggs out of the box?
