Hi Lucas, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your bird videos and please keep making these amazing bird videos with the beautiful birds that you have, I currently only breed canaries but after watching your videos, I am wanting to start breeding budgies but not in an aviary, before I start I first just wanted to find out about something that is worrying me, so if I want the female budgie to only lay 1 clutch of eggs, after she has laid and the baby budgies are all grown up and have fledged from the nest box what do I do then if I don't want her to have a second clutch of eggs? I am just worried because I want to know how to get her to stop laying incase she just keeps on laying? Thanks Lucas

Hi Daniele! ThankYou so so much for you comment, love and support towards the birds, myself and the channel! 🤗 I am glad my videos have motivated you to get into budgies. Female budgies will only lay eggs for breeding if there is a nest box or some sort of dark area which they feel would be a great area to lay and raise their young. What I usually do when I want a pair to lay one clutch is I let the chicks grow until they flee the nest and then remove the nest box. This usually stops them from laying more and breeding. If they do lay egg whilst there is chicks in the box then just remove the eggs… Hope this helps out and if you have nah more questions don’t hesitate to comment and I’ll try my best to reply 😊😊

Hi Lucas, thank you so much for the response I really do appreciate it thank you. Sorry just another quick question that I have, so I have got a small aviary as well as 2 small flight cages, would you recommend that I put the budgies to breed in the aviary or rather breed them separately in the flight cages and then from there move them into the aviary once the chicks are all grown up and eating on their own? I look forward to your next bird video.

@@danieleliddi6677 Hi Daniele! I think if you want to have a successful breeding with budgies, put them in a separate cage. It’s better for them but it’s also better for you because like that you can monitor them closely. In the future I really do not recommend breeding budgies in an aviary because they’ll literally kill each other… Not sure if you’ve seen my colony breeding video done a couple of year ago but that will basically explain why colony breeding isn’t good in an aviary… ThankYou again for commenting and asking! I appreciate it and don’t hesitate to ask more question! Here to help 😉

Hi Lucas, thank you so much for the information I really do appreciate it, thank you and yes I did recently watch your colony breeding video and now totally do understand why I shouldn't colony breed and rather breed in separate cages, another quick question that I have, so once the chicks are old enough to be handled, when cleaning the nestbox, is it okay to handle the baby chicks and maybe play with them for a bit and then put them back in the nestbox or would it rather be better to not handle the chicks and just leave them in the nestbox? If I play with the chicks and then put them back in the nestbox, do you think that the mother will abandon the chicks because now I would of touched them or do you think it will be okay, that the mother will still look after the chicks even if I have played with them? Thanks Lucas.
