I have 1 pair of budgies. They are confirmed male and female. They’re more than 1 year old. But they are not laying eggs. What can I do..?

There can be several reasons why your budgies are not laying eggs. Here are some potential factors that may be affecting their ability to breed:
- Diet: Budgies require a nutritious and well-balanced diet to support their reproductive health. Make sure you are feeding your birds a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, high-quality pellets, and a limited amount of seeds.
- Nesting Material: Budgies need a comfortable and safe environment to lay their eggs. Provide a nesting box with a suitable bedding material, such as shredded paper or coconut fiber.
- Lighting: Budgies require a certain amount of light exposure to stimulate their reproductive systems. Make sure they are receiving at least 10-12 hours of light each day.
- Stress: Budgies can be sensitive to stress, which can affect their breeding behavior. Make sure they are in a calm and quiet environment and are not being disturbed too frequently.
- Health Issues: If your budgies have any underlying health issues, such as infections or nutritional deficiencies, it can affect their ability to breed. Make sure to take your birds to a veterinarian for a check-up to ensure they are healthy.
It is important to remember that not all budgies will breed, and some may simply not be interested in laying eggs. If you have tried the above factors and your budgies still are not laying eggs, it may be best to simply enjoy their company as pets and not focus on their breeding potential.
