Question
hey
umm one of my budgies always trys to get under my other budgie...are they about to breed or something? i put a nest box in theres always on it but they never go in only one of them went in once..

Answer
Hi Gowthaman!

Usually one budgie tries to get on top of the other, not vice versa, but they could still be mating. It usually takes time for them to want to lay eggs, as something new in the cage, the nesting box, can be kind of scary at first. Give them time. You may not even have a male and female!

Hope this helps!
