Cage position

Placing the cages side by side allows the budgies to interact visually and audibly, which can provide stimulation and companionship. However, ensure they have enough space and that they get along well. If space is limited, placing one cage on top of the other can work, but make sure each budgie still has ample room to move and perch comfortably.

Breeding Behaviour

  1. Laying Continuation: If the female’s abdomen looks flatter and she hasn’t laid the second egg, she may still lay more eggs. Ensure she’s comfortable and monitor her closely for any signs of egg binding or distress.
  2. Breeding Frequency: While it’s generally recommended to give birds a break between breeding cycles, if the female is active and healthy, it can be okay for her to breed again. Ensure she has adequate nutrition and a stress-free environment to support her health and the breeding process.
    Be aware, it is recommended to female raise chicks only once per year.

Is a Cockatail same as a budgie?

Taming a cockatiel requires patience and gentle handling:

  1. Give Space: Allow your cockatiel to acclimate to its new environment for a few days without handling.
  2. Slow Approach: Gradually approach the cage and talk softly to build trust.
  3. Hand Feeding: Offer treats through the cage bars to associate your presence with positive experiences.
  4. Short Sessions: Start with short taming sessions, gently placing your hand inside the cage without forcing interaction.
