    It seems to be a little small, but the average budgie is 15-20cm long, plus the 3-6 hatched birds, it should not be able to open.

    Domestic birds do not respond to the same external influences as wild birds, domestic birds are not as sensitive to external influences as wild birds, and it doesn't matter if you have a few small holes, just don't disturb her from time to time during brooding.

    Generally, it is enough to put some sawdust in the nest, preferably soft, otherwise it is easy to hurt the legs and flesh of the bird.

    I think you're really small, my breeding box 20"10"15 I feel small, when the birds grow up, it may be too crowded, resulting in death, generally think that my so big can only stay three or four birds at most, you may only be able to live one, it is best to change to a larger one as soon as possible, the breeding box has two layers, I see most of the holes one or two holes, you three I will not catch up with anything, and usually as long as the hole above is open, the following is just convenient for you to see the birds do not open at ordinary times, the breeding box should be changed as soon as possible and let them adapt in advance, Otherwise, there will be no hurry to breed soon, and the tiger skin of the bird's nest is not used, and the tiger skin breeds like darkness, and you put it to play with it

    Dizzy, you were deceived by the owner of the flower and bird market, budgies can't breed with grass nests, the bowl-like nest you said, after you put it in, it will be bitten by the parrot within a week, resulting in unusable.

    Wild budgies breed in tree holes deeper than 20cm, so the breeding nest of parrots should be.

    Two-chamber vertical nest.

    Let's see, this is the nest suitable for the breeding of parrotids, and it is two-storey, that is, the kind of incubation room + corridor.

    Your one is 10x10x10cm that is for colorful birds, white birds, and other breeding, if you still don't understand anything, you can add me, I'll give you a more comprehensive, more specific answer [I have my Q number in the space].

    Actually, it's not that small, but there are larger types, and it's better to have two layers! If you are in the breeding stage, you can spread sawdust in the nest! That's how my grandfather's family got it!

    If it's breeding, you can't use the nest you said, you know? It's better to buy two layers.

    Wood chips and straw in the box. They'll take it into their own mouths.

    The breeding box of the parrot must be two layers up and down, that is, the so-called "vertical" nest, "horizontal" nest, even if the parrot enters, there will be no or very few breeding eggs! The probability of hatching birds in a horizontal nest is much lower than the laying rate of a vertical nest!

    Also, don't observe them too often, they should be familiar with the environment, and when the surroundings are quiet, they will enter the nest and breed!

    Another point is whether the breeding box is fully prepared for laying eggs! The breeding box must be covered with wood chips or bract rice husks and other nesting conditions, so that the parrot can breed babies inside!

    Budgies can be bred in the summer, but the following points need to be noted:

    1.Keep the environment cool: Budgies need a relatively cool environment during breeding to avoid overheating the embryos during hatching. It is recommended to place the breeding chamber in a cool, ventilated location, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

    2.Provide plenty of food and water: Budgies that breed in the summer need plenty of food and water to stay strong and healthy. Budgies can be provided with mixed seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, and other food, and be sure to provide fresh water.

    3.Pay attention to hygiene and disease prevention: Summer is the peak season for bacteria and diseases to multiply, so it is necessary to keep the breeding box clean and the bird cage hygienic.

    Change food and water regularly, and clean up trash and debris at the bottom of the cage and inside the breeding box. At the same time, pay attention to the health status of the birds, and seek medical attention in time if you find any abnormalities.

    As for whether the breeding tank should be removed or not, it depends on your specific situation. If your budgies have already started mating in the breeding box and are preparing to hatch eggs, removing the breeding box may affect their breeding progress. If you are concerned about the health of your birds hatching their eggs in high temperatures, you can temporarily move the breeding box to a cooler location until hatching is complete before putting it back in its original position.

    In conclusion, breeding budgies during the summer months requires attention to providing a suitable environment, adequate food and water, maintaining hygiene, and preventing disease to ensure their health and reproductive success.

    Reasons for not breeding in summer: First, the weather is hot, and it is easy for the parent bird to hang up in the nest all day long. Friends of the two, the weather is hot and the pressure is low, the fertilized eggs are very tolerant of which belt is easy to break, and they cannot hatch, so the bird's hatching rate is low.

    Third, the weather is hot, the bacteria are active, there are many pathogenic bacteria, and the birds are fragile and susceptible to disease, so the survival rate of the birds is low. It can also cause harm to the parent bird.

    In this case, it is: the damage is big and the production is small, in a word: it is not cost-effective.

    It is better to let the old birds rest in the hottest months, and then hang their nests in September and harvest in November, which will not hurt the birds, and the yield is even more than letting them not rest in the summer, and the quality is good. Therefore, in general, the nest is not allowed to be hugged in summer, and the nest is removed.

    It is the same reason as the peasants take turns to rest the land.

    However, if the temperature does not exceed 30 degrees there, it is completely possible to let them report the nest, because there is no effect. There are many such places, Yunnan, Guizhou, all of them. Besides, you are a novice, you have never seen them report the nest, I think it's fun, let them report it, I know I can't persuade him, but I want to give Li Lu them a ventilated and quiet environment.

    After mating, take the nest down, just like the nest built by a bird in nature is blown by the wind, it doesn't have much effect, but they will hold the nest again if the conditions are right.

    Weigh the pros and cons yourself.

    Summary. Hello <>, happy to answer for you. : The breeding box for hand-raised budgies is placed above the cage.

    Budgies generally need to be plugged in instead of inside, which is relatively easier to watch the birds and eggs. But more importantly, the breeding box needs to be hung higher.

    Where to place the breeding box for hand-raised budgies.

    Hello <>, happy to answer for you. : The breeding box for hand-raised budgies is placed above the cage. Budgies generally need to be plugged in instead of inside, which is relatively easier to watch the birds and eggs.

    But more importantly, the breeding box needs to be hung higher.

    After the breeding box is hung up, it is normal for the budgie not to go in at first, at this time do not rush to take it down, continue to hang it for a few more days, and when the budgie is familiar with it, it will definitely go in. When budgies enter the breeding season, be careful not to always open the box to look at it, try not to disturb it, and create a quiet environment to give the parrot a sense of security.

    The hand-raised budgie is going to go.

    They don't fly.

    Kiss is something you can get into. Thank you.

    Cotton, soft branches, leaves, etc., which are comfortable to the touch and can keep warm.

    1.Budgie breeding crates on the market.

    Generally, the plastic houses sold in the market are only for ornamentation, for parrots to rest and use, if they are used for breeding, they must not keep warm, and the eggs may also fall out. So it's best for owners to buy breeding boxes for tiger skins. Budgie breeding boxes are generally bought online, and some are made of pine (usually fir).

    It is sturdy and not easy to be gnawed by tiger skin, and it is durable!

    1) Nowadays, many customers are asking more and more to make pine nest boxes, mainly because the hardness of pine is higher than that of fir. It's not so easy to bite and it's practical.

    2) The nuts of pine trees are eaten by many animals and birds, and the pine leaves are also eaten by many insects. Therefore, pine wood is absolutely environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

    3) Wild birds build many nests on pine trees, but rarely on fir trees, so pine nest boxes are more suitable for birds to breed the next generation.

    2.Homemade budgie breeding crates.

    The materials for the homemade budgie breeding box: cardboard boxes, cotton, soft branches, leaves, etc., which are comfortable to the touch and can be kept warm. If there is a wood chipping, it is better to put it on it.

    The breeding box can be made horizontally or vertically. The vertical type will cause the mother bird to climb up and down during the egg-laying period and lose physical strength, while the horizontal type does not have this disadvantage.

    Method: 1) Use soft branches to make a small nest (a small box is also fine, as long as it is built with branches); 2) pad two layers of cotton; 3) a piece of cloth; 4) Put a few leaves; 5) Pounce on the wood chipping.

    Generally, the breeding box of budgies should be based on a wooden box of 32cm*16cm*16cm (length * width * height) or 16cm * 16cm * 32cm (length * width * height), and the diameter of the nest mouth is generally about 5 6 cm if you make it yourself. If you do it yourself, you should remember to make a trap door, you can check the condition of the eggs at any time, parrots generally have to pad sawdust when breeding, and the mother bird may peck the sawdust in its mouth or throw the sawdust out of the box or pile it on the side of the breeding box, these are normal phenomena. While the presence or absence of a partition in the middle makes no difference to the bird's hatchability, it is better to have a partition in the middle.

    Reason: aIt can create the most suitable environment for the breeding of the mother bird and bring a sense of security to the mother bird; b.

    The partition in the middle prevents the birds from falling out of the nest box during the young bird stage. The key is the litter, now it is generally put sawdust, which is the kind sold in the pet market for hamsters, which is cheap and can be used for a long time. When spreading, it is best to be thicker but not very loose (scattered, the parrot will bottom out after grabbing twice, which will affect the hatching effect:

    One is to get out, the second is not warm, and the third is that birds are easy to be lame).

    Summary. Young birds reach sexual maturity at 6-8 months and begin courtship breeding, with the optimal breeding age being 1-5 years old.

    Do budgies know how to go into the breeding box themselves? Can you reproduce at a few months old?

    Young birds reach sexual maturity at 6-8 months and begin courtship breeding, with the optimal breeding age being 1-5 years old.

    Yes, this breeding chamber.

    So I'm going to load it in, do I need to divide the cage, well, do I need to put them directly into the breeding box or let them go in by themselves.

    When they're old enough to mate, they put them in the breeding tank.

    They have been, more than eight months old.

    Did I lock them in a breeding box?

    Yes, locked in a breeding box, they will reproduce on their own.

    OK. Budgies have hooks on their beaks, are strong and powerful, and like to gnaw wood, so they cannot use bamboo cages, but must be raised in metal cages. As a recreational ornamental bird, it can be raised in a small electroplated metal cage with perch bars and rings for parrots to play with.

    As a breeding bird, a large square metal cage should be used, the size of the cage is 40 cm long, 35 cm wide, and 35 cm high, and the bottom of the cage is equipped with a drawer-type sand table (dung support board) to facilitate cleaning of manure.

Cold: Mainly caused by sudden relocation from a place with high temperature to a place with low temperature, or the cold temperature in winter exceeds the bird's own tolerance, or the onset of wind chill after bathing.

Generally, the material we give to the tiger skin cushion is sawdust (the size of a fingernail), with a thickness of 2-3 cm, and you can also pad some broken wheat straw, or some millet husks. If your bird doesn't enter the nest, it is likely that there is a problem with the soft object of your pad, which makes them scared, so they dare not enter. It is recommended to take it out immediately and replace it with the above materials. >>>More

Yellow and blue parrots are perfectly compatible with the Rolling Potato. Regardless of who is male or female, the yellow parrot itself evolved from the green parrot, so it is equivalent to a green parrot and a blue parrot pairing. It's just that green is easy to cover blue, so blue-green parrots match, and their offspring have more green birds, but this green bird has a blue gene in its body, so we will often see green birds and sometimes offspring will also have the appearance of blue birds. >>>More
