I have 1 male and 2 female parakeets in one 3-bird cage. I have recently figured out that my two females are both pregnant. I need two nesting boxes, and I can only fit one in the cage. I have another 1-bird cage, but it won’t fit a nesting box probably. Any suggestions on questions or on the baby’s? This is my first time with a pregnant parakeet!

I have three parakeets (two females and a male) and I do not want them to reproduce. I bought a Happy Hut today because I thought my male bird would like it, and I thought it would keep them warmer. It only just occurred to me that they might think it was a nesting box or use it as a nesting box. I do not want them to reproduce — should I take the Happy Hut back?

Okay, we have a bird aviary (not very big) and we have 4 budgies in there, so two males, two females and they are in pairs.. So two had 3 eggs and layed it in there nesting box and then a few days later they weren’t there and I saw a dead really young baby bird outside but not trace of any other birds or eggs.
The other pair kept hanging around there and one couple lost two eggs, which got dropped on the floor, we aren’t sure which couple it was, but my nan said she saw the other couple (without eggs) mating.
So where and why do you think the eggs in the nesting box went?

i have four zebra finch (two males and two females)..i have two nest box in the cage (one at the right of the cage and one at the left)…the birds have been laying eggs in each nest box….one pair per box…the box to the left had 4 eggs and the nest to the right hand 6 eggs…after about 10 days into incubation the birds in the left of the cage stopped sitting on their eggs…so i placed those fertilized eggs into the nest to the right…when i did that we move the cage b/c my parents wanted to rearange the the house….now the birds on the right stopped sitting on the eggs and now the birds from the left is sitting in the nest on the right and incubating all 10eggs….and the other two from the right are sitting in the left nest….will this be too much trouble for he parents to handle all that babies….they are sup. to hatch either tomorrow or the next day…it will be 16 days tm….
i feed the birds egg site finch food…they get greens and chopped boiled eggs with shells everyday…and sometimes as treats the get fruits…

I just brought a really big cage for my cockatiel…It looked smaller than I anticipated. Now in my room he has so much room in that cage! Is is gigantic! My cockatiel is a male should I add another male or will they fight? Or Should I add two females? I just don’t want little cockatiels…hopefully you know what a mean. If there is no nest box will they still lay eggs?
Right now I only have one…..I am thinking of getting another, that is why I want to know what gender to get….thanks!
