a new behavior in both female and male.

[ahmad]

hey there, i wonna ask about the new behavior of my budgies.for the last 2 days my pair of budgies are starting to enter the nest box for a while and then gets out.both the female and male are entering and sometimes they enter both together,this behavior is new because they didnt used to do this since i got them the last 2 month and sometimes the female goes i and the male stands outside and they start kissing .both of them are in breeding condition.

It sounds like they are getting ready. Expect eggs soon!

[ahmad]

great.i have been told that in the case of the first egg which is layed,the female wouldnt sit onit for to much right? is it ok if i checked the nest box?

[Sarah]

Yes, you may check the nest box. Try to do this when the female is not inside.

[ahmad]

i have just checked the nest box and ts empty,but they are constantly entering so it might lay them tomorrow or any other day.

Keep us updated on what happens and if they lay a egg!

[ahmad]

ok i will keep and eye on them.yesterday i have putten for them some pieces of news papers because ive been talled  that the pair would find them the best to put inside the nest box,is it good as i have been talled?

[Sarah]

Pine shavings are preferable, if you can get your hands on them. I worry about the chemicals on newspaper: the eggs can actually absorb chemicals and bacteria through their shells. I would put a healthy supply inside the nest as well as outside. The female may push most of the stuff out of the nest at first: thats normal. She will then arrange her nest the way she likes it out of both places in and out.

mm ok im going to do my best to get some pine shavings.it doesnt affect here if i installed the pine shavings inside the nest box? till this day nothing happened ive checked and no eggs were layed.

[ahmad]

i  think its coming near to laying cz shes entering with the male to the nest box and staying for like about 6 to 10 min in there. you have more experience then me so whats your opinion?

[ahmad]

hey there,till this day nothing changed and no eggs were layed but the pair are not arranging the papers inside the nest,theye are just playing with them and bitting them on the floor.

Just be Patient. don't annoying the birds too much, they need to tack there time to prepare the box. Take care with the food this period I advice you to add Vitamin E to avoid empty eggs. also, Lettuce is good too.

[ahmad]

i am patient, but keeping an eye on them is always better to avoid laying problems or straining.ill buy egg food because i think seeds and boiled eeggs arent enough for them especially in this period.
