I have the lights on for 14 hours, I have a nest box, I have other birds in the room, but they aren’t going to nest. It is very frustrating.

This beauty is a star. She was featured in my other video where she was seen feeding her first clutch. In this video, she is seen laying an egg and I can tell you something: this is a very rare site, it happened so quickly and I was lucky to have spotted the signs of her fast breathing prior to her laying the egg. This is her fourth egg. I’ve observed that during breeding, Linnie hens on average lay an egg every 39-41 hours during breeding. I have to say, she is an adorable bird.

Meet my pet family of Lineolated Parakeets. The chicks are three weeks old. The mother can be seen feeding her older blue (f) and younger green (m) chicks. You can even spot the father in the foreground. He’s green. Unfortunately the third and youngest chick can’t be seen because the poor thing died at the age of two weeks. 
He was green. The older two did not give the little one the chance to be fed properly because the nest box is a bit small and he/she wasn’t strong enough to get out from under the older two during feeding times. I guess it was the law of the jungle in the nest box. It was very sad to see the youngest chick waste away so fast. From the moment when I noticed he was in trouble to the moment when I discovered him lifeless was within a span of just 48 hours… It was all my fault. I should’ve tried to feed him. This was my first time I’ve ever bred anything, let alone birds. I should have hand-fed the youngest chick but I did’t know how and I regret it very much. I wish I had acted sooner. Anyway, I’m now prepared for the future: I’ve bought a feeding syringe which I use to hand-feed the two chicks with and I’m looking for a larger nest box. So until then, it’s time for the parents to have a 6-month rest before they have any more babies.
