Not sitting on eggs at night

My budgie not sitting on her eggs at night but I am not doing colony breeding I don’t know why she doing that and I am doing my best for her to keep him healthy so she sit on her eggs

Hi Inex,

If this is the first time, this is normal. She needs time to learn. Once she is done with these eggs, remove the box, rest the pair for 6 months, and then let them try again. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries for a pair to get it right, and some never get it right. All you can do is give them privacy and see what happens.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
