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!

I found out today that my parakeet had an egg. I came home and there was an egg that was cracked, but just an hour ago she laid another! We took it out of the cage because she wasn’t laying on it and placed it under a lamp. I have two birds, we orginally thought that we had two females, guess not! We checked the egg and it appears to be fertilized. I have a few questions. What temperature should I keep the egg at? What foods should I be feeding to my parakeet? What type of nesting box should I get for my parakeet? Is there any way I can get my parakeets to go into the nesting box? Where should I place the nesting box? Thank you!

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?
