Parrotlet Breeding Questions?

Posted on January 25, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a female and a male parrotlet, they are in the same cage. They have been “mating” for a while now and i put a nest box in the cage. She stayed in the box all night but theres no eggs. She keeps going in and out of the box and is very aggressive when i even go near her cage. Im positive shes pregnant(whatever you call it for birds) But shes not laying eggs! and shes been all crazy like this for almost a month. When will she lay eggs?

Also, some days she doesn’t even go in the box and other days shes in a lot.

Are my Cockatiel birds really mating?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Ok, so I bought what I was told was a pair- but then a pet store told me the females have very light colored cheeks. My “female” has dark cheeks. Anyhow, the “boy” sings to her all day and sometimes he mounts her. He is on her for what seems like forever and she is chirping loudly the whole time. Then he gets off and she chases him all over the cage and tries to bite him. They “mate” about 4-5 times a day, if not more. Usually he is the one in the nesting box, not her. No eggs have been laid and my husband insists that they are 2 boys, but why would the bird let himself is one and (2) wouldn’t the one who is always pretending to be the girl eventually want to be on top? My husband says maybe he wants to, that’s why he chases the other one around the cage. What do you guys think?

By the way, the “girl” is all grey with orange cheeks- the “boy” has a yellow head, orange cheeks and a grey body.The girl does seem smaller, in body than the boy.

I have a bonded pair doing all the displays and mating ( i think) they have a large nest box in there cage and they have the run of my living room for 7 to 9 hrs a day there on a varyed and balanced diet and they also have 17 diffrent birds let out at the same time in my living room ( 5budgies,2 red rumps,2 ring necks,3 cockatiels, princess parrarot ,galah, turtle dove,green cheek)
They all get along and there all supervised at all times when there out

When are the eggs coming for my parakeets, and where should their perch be?

Posted on July 4, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

My birds try mating everyday and the female goes in the nest box everyday for 2-3 hours. They have been doing this for a week. So when should the eggs be here? And where should the perch be, inside or out? I have a separate perch just outside of the box so the birds can get in, but the box comes with a perch which I put inside. Should that stay there or should I take it out to make the inside of the box more roomy?

how am i sure that my zebra finches are mating? how do i know the eggs will hatch?

Posted on May 7, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

okay here goes the story. i have just gotten two zebra finches recentaly. a male (romeo) and a female (juliet), they seem to be mating because romeo keeps jumping on juliet’s head and back. the only problem is that i was reading simalr questions on tthis program , and some of them said that they wont lay eggs unless they have a wooden nesting box!! is this true?

the birds do have a breeding nest that was bought at a pet store and it would fit into there cages better than a wooden one. it said breeding nest on the front so … you figure. i am sure that it is fine i just am curious. also how small are the eggs compared to a certain coin?
thank you for all your help, it is greatly appreciated!!
