Budgie eggs


What to do if I bring a pair of budgies from pet store with eggs
Will the budgies sit on them?


Answer:

Hi Zawat,

It is highly unlikely. When breeding birds are moved while they have eggs or chicks, they will almost always abandon the eggs or chicks. Birds need time to get adjusted to a new home. If you buy this pair, you need to rest them without a nest box for at least 6 months before you try to breed them again. A pair should always be rested for 6 months between each clutch, whether the eggs hatch or not.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
