Is it ok to pick a baby parakeet up when its still in the nesting box?Like when its 3 weeks old?i want to pick them up to tame them so can i pick up a baby when its 3 weeks old without the mother getting mad?If i do will she smell my scent and not feed it like wild birds do?

my birds are losing lots of little tiny feathers fluffy down are they going to mate umm i know for sure theres 1 male 1 female they kiss and cuddle but loose alllllllllloooooooooot of little tiny feathers and even more doun feathers. I just put a nest box in tonight i hope they…..(u know)…. cuz baby parakeets are sooooo cute
Okay so i woke up today and went outside to check on my parakeets about 10 of them.So i put a nesting box in there and i saw one dead bird in there and the other one laying the egg.So there is 2 parakeets in that nest box one is dead i think is an adult and the Female is laying the egg any reason the other one died? And the Female bird seems staying on her egg the whole day she never get food.Will it die? What should i do with the dead bird and the female.Because the female is very aggressive toward me is protecting is egg so i cant get the dead bird out.Help i want the bird egg to hatch! Thank You for answering.PLEASE help
My question is that i want to have 2 male parakeets and two female parakeets in the same cage. Though i want them to mate and have a nesting box in the cage. Due to 2 male and female birds would that interrupt mating between any of them with limited nesting area
well i have two parakeets i have seen them mate and regurgitate and preen each other. One of the birds laid two eggs there were four eggs before these but she broke them. What should i do now? i have supplied them with bird seed,fresh vegetables,mineral blocks,a nest box,and plenty of water. so what should i do now. they are in a warm quiet room and i am not gonna move their cage. what should i do now? and what should i do when the eggs hatch? i just saw the eggs yesterday when will they hatch?

I’m very worried on how I should go about caring for my baby parakeets when they hatch, the hen is currently nesting her eggs, however in the past she’s laid a batch (1 hatched and died after a single day). I want to avoid the same thing from happening again, and I don’t have the heart to break the eggs like others who don’t want to go through the trouble do. The problem starts when the babies are first born. (about the first week or so) the mother doesn’t really know what to do when the babies hatch, and she just continues to sit there paying no attention to the baby at all. While I’m afraid to touch it since when they first hatch they seem so frail and soft, and I’m not sure if I should. I’ve bought a Nesting box for my hen, some bedding, and baby formula with a Syringe to begin the feeding, such as that I’ve seen on youtube. However I don’t think it’s possible to start feeding the baby birds 1-3 days out of the egg since their mouths are so small. What do birds eat when their 1-6 days old? When should I start hand feeding the birds? Should I take the hen out of the nest after the eggs hatch? How long should it be until I stop hand feeding the babies and introduce them to seeds? If there’s anybody out there who is an expert on baby Parakeets i plea to you, PLEASE help me!!
