is something wrong with my parakeets?

they’re making some noise now but they don’t move a whole lot or play with the toys i gave them. i put in a nesting box but they don’t go in it. this is my first time with parakeets but my family has been raising canaries and some miniature parrots since i was 5, so i’m not a beginner with birds. i don’t buy birds at pet stores so these were from a breeder. she said they’d had babies before and that the female would probably lay eggs soon. they’re better than they were a few days ago but i’m still wondering, am i doing something wrong?

is the bird a wild bird?

we feed the birds in our back yard every day. there are blue jays, cardinals, humming birds, etc. but there is this bird that has grayish-brown body with a big red mark on top of his head. is that a wild bird or somebody’s pet? is there any wild birds that have a red mark on their head? i live on long island(just to let you know about the location)

sun conure regurgitating?

The pet store told me that he loves the toy so much that he thinks its his mate and is feeding it. I thought maybe it could be a female and thinks that the toy is her baby? The bird is healthy in every other way.any suggestions??

Are my Cockatiel birds really mating?

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.

Why do pet birds in aviarys require nest boxes? ?

WHat purpose do they serve? Can you keep birds in an aviary without them?

HELP!!! My “male” bird just laid an egg!?

Ok, so I have a “male” bird and a female, the “male” is about 2 years old, and the female is only a few months old. He looked sooo much like a male, according to the internet and the pet shop we bought him from.

He was acting really weird, puffed up on the bottom of the cage, (which isn’t very big – I don’t have room for a nesting box) so I took him out, and an egg just like… fell out! He only laid one egg and is showing no interest in it.

What should I do? Take it away [It's NOT fertilized]? Is there anything I should do for him? Or… her.

Thank you so much, this is really weird =]
I shoulda made my question more obvious: what do I do?!

Take the eggs away?! Or leave them?
Should I feed her anything special?
