my female parakeet wants to mate but my male bird doesnt know what to do..?

she’s been sticking her tail up in the air and he was trying to hop on but not sure how to. does it take awhile for the male parakeet to get the hang of it?

also i took out the stuffing in their nest because i heard parakeets lay eggs on the bare floor. should i keep it bare or put seeds on the bottom or something? i noticed my female parakeet was putting seeds on the floor.

im just wondering how long the mating “training” goes on before they actually start mating. they started showing signs of wanting to mate about a week ago, although she was getting into the nesting box all winter, the male parakeet is going over there now but hasnt went in yet.
we bought him about a year ago, so he’s over a year old

How can I save this baby bird?!?!?! DX?

DX a bird with a broken wing was found inside out house next to our open Winter. It is a fledgling which means it is big enough to hop around. We put it in a box to high for it to hop out of. Hr covered the bottom of the box with some cotton, wool hats and some torn up newspaper. I gave it a worm after cutting it in half and gave it some crunched up pieces of apple and some pieces of black berries. We read to put it next to the nest but we don’t know where that is and we think cats might get to it…: gonk AND CUTE THINGS CANT DIE!…although it seems to be very alive so far.
-,-….it’s not that bloody bad..and I wrote it really fast because I needed an answer right away…and like I said it will be hard to put it outside because there are alot of cats around.

NOTES:1. The wildlife rescue is not interested. 2. I climbed the tree and I can’t find a nest. 3. It is not?

ready to leave the nest and ‘hop around on it’s own. He is not even fully covered in down. Seriously, this bird was about to die yesterday. He was barely moving. I gave him mashed worms and put him in a shoe box. This morning, he was looking a lot better. I can’t find baby bird formula in the stores.

My question is: Is feeding him parakeet seed okay? I cooked it and mashed it up for easier digestion. I haven’t fed it to him yet because I’m scared it will kill him. I don’t know what type of bird he is. If this isn’t okay, what should I feed him?

Baby Bird Help?

I found a baby bird and have tried to call local places but cannot find anyone at this time that would take it, so now I would like to know what should I feed it, how often and how much…this bird is able to stand and hop has feathers but cannot fly yet and is still a little unsteady at times. the birds size full grown is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a pigeon. not sure of the breed yet.
