Question
hello i have 15 budgies 7 female and 8 male some have paired up and i have some questions.

1: Two of my pairs a gradually entering and exting the nest boxes is that a sighn of them ready to breed.

2: What signs should i look out for when my budgies are ready to mate.


Answer
This is a sure sign they are intrested in breeding, just leave them in peace only disturb to feed/water and clean the cage....if you let them be they will breed but if you disturb too much they wont....feeding the hen and tapping the beak on perches/toys is a sign of the male trying to impress the hen.
