Question
yes my female parakeet is going in the box the male is also feeding the female how long does it normally take the female to start laying eggs after she starts going into the breeder box

Answer
Hi again, Virgie.

There is no set time.  They will mate and lay eggs when/if they are satisfied with the nesting box, cage location, and all else is to their liking.  

If this whole process is new to you, you have a whole lot to learn BEFORE you allow your birds to mate, lay eggs, and raise babies.  Start with the following websites:

Come back with any additional questions.
