Mt brother has these birds i belive thier bot budgies and the female one keeps on eating them and she laid one but i dont think she knows where it is and she keeps on ignoring them and i dont know what i should do with it
Hi Jane,
The parents will sometimes eat the eggs. This is a bad habit and usually they will not stop and are not good for breeding because of this. The birds should be about 2 years old to breed, so if they are younger than 2, this is probably why she isn’t taking care of the eggs. Budgies need a nesting box and a good diet for breeding. If the female keeps eating the eggs, it’s best to take the nest box away and not try to breed them again.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
