  1. @kingalastair123 That is correct. Your birds are too young. They should be at least a year old or more before you try to breed them. You will have better results. Be sure that your female gets plenty of exercise prior to breeding. This will assure that she will not become egg bound. Good luck.

  2. Always keep your females in a large flight cage. If the females get plenty of exercise then you will have no problem with egg binding. I always keep my females together in a large cage and they fly all the time. I’ve never had a female that became egg bound.

  3. hi just need advice my male and female ar corting for about a month now they kiss feed each other and cleen each other i just dnt no why i havent had eany babies yet my female is about 3 months old and my male is 6 months could this just be cos ther still yonge pleas help thanks..miniman@rock.com

  4. @khazashark Yes, I would suggest leaving the egg be for a couple of weeks, then throw it out. That is, as long as there is no chance it is fertile. If you only have the one Budgie, then there is obviously no chance of that. Otherwise, you should check the egg by candling it to see if it is fertile. If it is, you should read my articles on hand feeding babies on examiner.com. I am the National Parrot Examiner there.

  8. @Parakeettips147 You get experience by finding an experienced breeder and learning from them. Many are more than willing to teach you in exchange for help with their birds. You learn all you need to know the best way possible. Just be sure to pick a reputable breeder, since you don’t want to learn the wrong way to do things. So, no, trying is not the best way to go.

  9. @parrotflock i agree with u sort of but how r u going to learn how to do it if ur saying u need experience first once u do it u gain experience so u have to try

  10. This video doesn’t give a minimum age for breeding budgies. Male and female budgies are able to reproduce at six months of age but are not physically / mentally mature. They should be bred only between the ages of 18 months to four years. Breeding budgies that are too young or too old increases the risk. Breeding budgies is not all fun and games; the chicks can die and it is hard on the parents. Be careful, and research thoroughly.

  11. these videos with subtitles are great also for non native English speakers, when we don’t recognize a word spoken, we could read it.

  12. Many people don’t want any birds to breed cause egg binding is a MAJOR problem not kidding. The bird’s most important system stops and the egg is stuck . Many owners parakeets died of this belive me, it’s really irriatating having the thought that you will have a dead female knowing it’s your fault. It’s very disapointing having a tame budgie, your best friend dying.:(

  13. i agree. lol ive been waiting ages for this 1 male to find his mate and want to raise a family. now he has 6 eggs due any day now! 4 are fertile. patience is the best key 🙂

  14. Dear the camper, sometimes the female may do the singing for unknown reasons otherwise it may be because of the fact that sometimes the male may look like a female or the female may look like the male i’m not positive either my budgies both sing to eachother so i don’t know

  15. if you are considering breeding your birds make sure you have more nest box’s than required and give them liquid calcium in the water ans also cuttlefish as they need soluble and insoluble calcium supplements,get some crushed shells from you pet shop.Minor surgery on birds usually doesn’t work so try to prevent the problem to begin with.

  19. ahhahhhaa u suck ur mostly wrong u need to have them almost/the same age budgies to breed and they need to bond with eatchother to have eggs and most eggs will be firtle but some will be infertle

  20. i have a question…i bought a girl budgie and wated until it was old enough to mate…then i bought a boy budgie that was around the same age as her. now my guestion was the girl is doing all of the loveing and singing to the boy, not the other way around… why is this?
