My parakeet laid two eggs ! We are at a loss at what to do now. How do we make a nest ? What materials should we put in the cage so they can make a nest, if that’s best.?
I have a female & male parakeet. The female has laid a total of 5-6 eggs… kind of all over the place. One in her food bowl. I’ve seen her sit on it a couple of times (I think) or maybe she was just eating. But they’re all over & I haven’t seen her sit […]
My budgie has laid an egg but is not nesting on it. What shall I do?
We got a 8 week old parakeet a few weeks ago and she still seems scared/ uncertain of us. She freaks out when I change her food and she doesn’t move around the cage a lot when we’re around. Sometimes she even hides her head under her food bowl. But other times she chirps, sings, […]

I understand they have different nutritional needs, but is this okay? Or […]
