The sea shells are great because they keep the nest clean and dry and the mom doesn't mind 😊 Feel free to ask any questions! 😊

I have a pair...the female laid 1 egg inside the nest box but that's it... I never see her go inside the nest box or even sit on the egg. The male and female are always sitting on the perch. Will they breed or eggs even hatch. They just preen each other that's it

@misty_blue

Sometimes the females lay eggs that are not fertilized. They can even lay eggs when there is no male budgie there. So one possibility is that it's not fertile and that's why they don't sit on it. Another reason could be that they are not really suited as parents and they don't know how or don't want to take care of the egg. One way to know if there is any life in the egg, is to place it on the flashlight of a smartphone.

I really need ur help and advice!! I just got a nest in my budgies' cage and minty (my female budgie) and my two other budgies started chewing on it but mostly minty. Now, after seeing this video, I'm worried!! I just got my two budgies (minty and terry) and the other one, I already had for 1+ year. Basically, I don't know if my two new budgies are 1 year old or older than that! Should I take out the nest?? Why is minty chewing on it?? Please answer!!

@misty_blue

Жыл бұрын

The chewing on the nest is very normal! 😊 Females always chew on new nests because they want to make sure it's strong and safe for laying eggs. They spend some days inspecting it before they decide if it's good enough. The age can be a bit hard to determine. I noticed with our female birds that are 6 months and younger, they never had a brown cere, only pink, white and blue. The first time they start having a brown cere is only when they are older than 6 months. I think around 8 months they have a brown cere for the first time. The brown cere is because of hormonal changes. It means they're in a mating phase. After some months the brown cere becomes white/blue again. And then it changes to brown whenever they're in a mating phase again. But other than that it's quite hard to tell their age. I did notice that really mature birds generally have smaller eyes, skinnier faces and bodies in general. They're generally also less active than birds younger than 1 year old. But it's really hard to tell the difference once they reach 8 months because they look a lot like adults already. If you're unsure whether your birds are 1 year old, you could also wait 2-4 months to make sure.

Most female budgies will have nesting behavior like that. It's usually because of hormonal changes. Many of them are not even "pregnant" (they don't carry any eggs) but they are just preparing in case they will lay eggs at some point. It's definitely normal for female budgies to behave like that, it's just their nature. But she might not lay eggs. And if she lays eggs, the eggs will not have chicks unless there is a male that fertilized the eggs. You can keep an eye on what your budgie does. It takes around two days for them to form and lay eggs. So if she has an egg, you will find out soon. But we've had several budgies that were preparing a nest without ever laying eggs. Let me know how it goes! :)

Yeah it can be a bit tricky with budgie breeding. Sometimes they start earlier than they should. But it's hard to decide what to do after they already laid eggs. One option is to remove the eggs and nest if you feel like the parents are at risk (if they are weak or if they look like they have health problems), but it's hard because you don't want to be cruel and remove the eggs. Another option is to leave the eggs and monitor the parents closely to see if they can handle it. To see if there is life in the eggs, you can place them on the flash light of a phone (or another light). I think you can see the first sign of life around 5 days. To help your budgies, you can try to offer them extra nutrients like proteins, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Eggs are great for breeding pairs. Some eat them boiled or scrambled, but some only accept egg food (you can find it in pet stores). Greens like romaine lettuce, arugula, carrot greens, mint, basil etc. are also very good. Also provide enough calcium (for instance with cuttlefish bone or egg shells). I hope that helps 🤭 Feel free to ask more!

It can be quite tricky with budgies, but there are some signs to estimate their age. Budgies that are younger than a month/month and a half, will have a different color above their beak (females blue and males pink). If the beak is blue (a male) or white or brown (female), it means the budgie is older than 1,5 months. The size of the eyes can be a sign, but not always. Most budgies will have smaller eyes as adults. The rings on their forehead are quite a good sign. Up to 2 months, they will have many lines on their forehead. Then, bit by bit, they have less lines. I think around one year old the lines up to their eyes more or less will be gone. Females will have a very brown, crusty cere for the first time around 8 months. After that the cere keeps changing from white-ish/light blue to brown. But yeah, in the end you can only estimate the age, but it’s hard to know precisely.

I personally wouldn't do it, to allow them to grow up completely and also create a strong bond with their partner. When they're younger than a year, they're less mature and sometimes abandon or mistreat the chicks. The females can get eggs stuck. It's better to first feed the breeding couple a very nutritious diet with egg, vegetables, if possible even some cod liver oil (they sell mixes at pet shops). Then the birds are well prepared for breeding. I did see that sometimes it's ok to start when they're between 10 months and a year old, but I prefer starting after 1 year. The best age is between 1 and 3 years old :)
