are my parakeets(budgies) going to mate?

Posted on January 31, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

umm i recently just modified my birds cage and added a nesting box to the side the next day i noticed my birds playing with the box like chewing at the hole and stuff. the day after that i noticed they go inside of it. I had some fluff in their box incase she lays eggs but they took it out will they mate? i live in northern hemisphere and its pretty much spring already my girl budgie and boy budgie are mature enough and when the girl is inside the box i guess the boy would come and share food with her you know when it appears they kiss. so i dont know if they’re going to mate are they?

Info about nestboxes?

Posted on January 3, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

This probably seems a really silly question, but which way do i put the concave in our birds nest box next year. Obviously with the dip facing up but where exactly does the dip go ? by the small hole mum goes in and out of or by the flap that i will look through. I am worried the chicks might fall out or get trodden on by mum.

Why is our male cockatiel so possesive over a cardboard box?

Posted on June 25, 2011 by admin| 11 Comments

Our male cockatiel is about 9 yrs. old and he loves to explore in dark places. I took a 8 x 8 cardboard box and cut a hole in it and placed it on the floor. When I take him out to play and run around he has become so possessive over this box. He attacks you and screams if you come near it. He loves to go into and just pecks away at the cardboard and will come out in his own good time but refuses to allow anyone around it. He is an only bird, there is no mate. Are we confusing him into thinking this is a nest?
