Actually a colony is not a bad thing, it's a matter of preference. If you are into heavy breeding, then breeding compartments, but if not and just let the birds be, then aviary/colony setup.

I got my budgies a couple years ago and we have 2 males and 2 females in the same cage(because they’re social as you know) and 1 male and 1 female ended up becoming a pair I think(they kiss and “share” food and are always together) but the bad thing is, I got them from Petsmart and they’re really jumpy around me and don’t trust me and I can’t seem to get their trust. My female has been kicking all the seed out of the bowl even when we give her fruit or other foods to eat ):

I have 1 pair of English and Australian budgies my Australian pair have been nesting and hatching the eggs but I noticed that my female doent sit on the eggs very much and when she does and they hatch she wont feed the chicks.

My budgies have chicks hatching. 3 or 4 now, thus far. Several more eggs to go. Everything looks fine thus far. After this breeding, I wish to STOP. My plan will be two flight cages, one for each separated sex. Is this a good plan?? Can I keep everyone together, and prohibit breeding another way??? If sex separation into separate cages is needed - Whats the easiest method of separating all males from females???? Thank you so much for your videos and any advice you may have for me!!

Can you use husky shedding as a bedding for their nest? Since many birds use it. My husky just shed lol

What if your budgie lays eggs in a seed cup because there is no nesting box? If I add one and move the egg there, will they abandon it? It just got laid, so I don't know how many eggs there will be. He has been in with the 2 girls less than a month, whirlwind romance ;)

How do you know if there a breeding pair

[@birbiiee]

So here's what ive done 1. My pair ended up breeding in march. They had their first clutch Around april but it was a massive failure resulting in only one chick who only survived because I had reared them. They also have deformed legs. 2. After a couple months for a break, they had their second clutch. What i did differently was adding unscented pine shavings to the wooden nest. Mine doesn't have a divot but i made a divot in the bedding. My female laid 8 eggs. I also make them hard boiled eggs everyday and give them calcium grit, mineral block, cuttlefish, and seed/pellet mix. 4 chicks have hatched and they are all healthy. I also avoided bothering the nest too much and only check in 3 times a day.

[@eaj0240]

3 times a day is to much. only once a day is better.

When buying a new breeding pair of birds, how long does it take to breed them? Ive recently bought a dna sexed male and female conures theyve never had babies yet.

[@susanmcgrath2254]

Abeed, I used to have two Patagonian conures. One was DNA sex as female the other was not, however I believe she too was female. They have approximately a 30-year lifespan and it took mine approximately 15 years before either one laid eggs! They were highly territorial and possessive of them, downright mean in fact when I tried to clean the cage as I had no breeding box; I wasn't expecting eggs! Best of luck!

I would like some help. I knew nothing aboit budgies. I bought a male and a female. They mated and had 2 chicks in December. They were a happy family in a big cage. But now mummy had laid 2 eggs that broke and 4 shes sitting on which i believe to be from one of her 7 month old chicks. I was shpcled to see the 2 chick boys fighting over mating with her. Twice i have seen them fighting wanting to mate hwr in the morning. But the mummy has just had 2 already in december. I feel sorry for her having another 4 already. Its seem8ng over crowded. She doesnt get chance to eat coz they always want to get on her when she comes out but i dont want to deprive her from being fed by the male or deprive the chicks when they hatch from being fed and kept warm by the male. Coz i noticed the males do alot of feeding and looking after their youg even more than the mothers after they r born. I feel mummy budgy needs a break. What do u suggest? Thanku
