Hi, My first chick fledged today and the second is otw out as well soon. Do I return them to the nest or wait and seen if dad will feed them..I do have formula, but hoping a parent will continue. Thank you for answering my questions.
Once the chicks are able to eat on their own, how soon can I return mom and dad budgie to the flock. Also, should I separate mom and dad, so they will not want to breed again.. They will not be provided with a nesting box, when they return. Thank you for answering my first […]

Hi I have a breeding pair, in their own cage. The male has been out(flying) on his own for exercise. Female won’t come out (sitting on her eggs).. I have 5 other budgies, not breeding and not planning to…Can I let the breeding male, fly with the other 5 for exercise and company..
I would love to let my two 3month old bogies fly outside the cage. When is best to do this? Will I ever gain their trust to allow me to touch them. I let them out and they were very startled and flew into the walls and furniture. Is it safe for them?
About my parakeet Pico, that I’ve had for 1-1/2 yrs. He’s a character and sometimes a bully. 1) He bites me really hard sometimes, and I can’t figure out what prompts this behavior. He flies to my shoulder, and sometimes bites my neck, even breaking the skin. 2) He doesn’t have a friend, and he’s […]
If I, as a novice, were to allow my keets to mate, what is necessary for a pet store to take them to sell? I would think the would require some sort of proof health wise, or would they take them and just keep them quarantined? What is the usual standard?
One of budgies in pair was died yesterday… So can other budgie live alone? We are.tensed about it..
My budgie laid 6 eggs, and after, the male started pecking her all over, now she has a big wound on her head, we seperated the male, and she isn’t going over them, what should I do?

Hello, I was just wondering if you have any advice for me. My budgies surprised me with an egg that I was not expecting. It was broken on the bottom of the cage. I got advice and set up a breeding box for them. It appears that they have been in it. However today I […]
Our parakeet laid a clutch of six eggs in a cozy keet, but we got her a nesting box big enough for babies and she won’t go in it. The eggs are fertile. Should we just bring her cozy meet back?
I was given three beautiful budgies and told by the breeder they were all female. They did great together. No issues. Surprise egg found this morning in the food dish – and it did not make it. The corner was crushed. I had no idea, so there was no nesting box available. Is it too […]
I would like to know if the female stays in the nest in the night to heat the egg…. and if I should allow her to do so.
What to do if I bring a pair of budgies from pet store with eggs Will the budgies sit on them?
My parakeet laid 4 eggs in the food dish. If 1 or or more are fertilized the dish is too small to hold them. It barely holds her. So I moved the eggs to a nesting box. Will she follow the eggs or should i move them back.
Do budgies parakeets talk I mean can they learn to talk or do they just tweet and whistle .
I have a couple of budgies and recently one of the birds feathers around her beak have gone from white to black. I feed them nutriberries, avicakes, some seesds, millet and apples and green vegs. She is an albino if that makes any difference. Otherwise she is healthy. Should i be worried?
Hi so my budgie laid 7 eggs. Two have already hatched and we are waiting on the other ones. If not all 7 eggs hatch should we remove them or should we let the parents take them out. And should we clean the nesting box while they have little babies inside or should we wait […]
Hi there. I have had my 2 female parakeets for 2 years now and they have always been bonded and don’t really come by me much at all. I also have a cockatiel that I’ve had for about a year and a half. They all get along but just recently my one parakeet has suddenly […]

My bird had a very crinkly brown cere. But now both sides are blue and brown in the center. Is that normal or is it a young male maturing?
My budgie is 3 years old and is very aggressive! So much that I can’t lot it out of the cage while I’m in the room! She flies at me and bites not like any budgie I’ve ever had. She just attacks so I feel bad that I cannot let her out .
Will they all hatch??? Will she be able to take care of sooo many.

I am going on a trip for 4/5 days and am leaving my 8 year old budgie with family friends so she can have more social time rather than being alone. The only thing is these friends of mine have never let her out of her cage before to fly. I thought it would be […]
Thanks Brenda for your previous answer. The hen has already laid her first egg. It’s been two months since I brought her home. So I’m too late to stop this cycle. If she lays more than 4-6 eggs I will replace some with plastic eggs. Also once they are finished with this clutch I will […]
I sent you a question already but in the meantime I looked some things up. I only gave them a box on 11/29 and I read that hens will spend 10-15 days in the box before laying and that some hens are messy. Meaning they will poop some in the box. She also does poop […]
Hi, I have a pair of budgies, male 2 years old and the female is of undetermined age. I think she is younger than my male, I rescued her from a breeding situation. She had laid 12 eggs (way too many I think) in a cut cardboard box but had no mate. My male has […]
so my budgie is 3 months old and i’ve read on here that at around this age they will become distant and not like to be handled and such but will return to their regular behaviour eventually, but it didn’t say how long this behaviour is expected to last, so if anyone could tell me […]
