There are several reasons why female budgies might fight with male budgies. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Territorial behavior: Female budgies can become territorial and aggressive towards male birds when they feel that their space is being invaded or threatened.
- Mating behavior: During mating season, female budgies may become aggressive towards male birds as they try to establish dominance and control over their territory.
- Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes can also cause female budgies to become aggressive towards male birds. For example, if a female bird is experiencing a hormonal surge, she may become more territorial and aggressive.
- Lack of socialization: If the budgies haven’t been properly socialized or introduced to each other, they may not understand each other’s cues and may end up fighting.
It’s important to monitor the behavior of your budgies and make sure that they are getting along. If necessary, you may need to separate the birds to prevent them from fighting. It’s a good idea to provide your birds with plenty of toys and perches to keep them occupied and help reduce their stress levels.

Breeding budgies can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it’s important to be prepared and knowledgeable before taking on this responsibility. Here are some key points to keep in mind as a beginner:
- Housing: You’ll need to provide a spacious and safe cage for your breeding pair, with adequate room for them to move around, perch, and nest.
- Diet: Budgies need a balanced diet of seeds, vegetables, fruits, and pellets to stay healthy and produce healthy eggs.
- Mate Selection: Choose a pair of healthy and compatible birds that are at least one year old, as younger birds may not yet be sexually mature.
- Nesting: Provide a suitable nesting box for your budgies to lay their eggs in, and make sure it’s in a quiet and secure location.
- Incubation: The female budgie will incubate the eggs for approximately 18 days, and the male will help feed her during this time.
- Raising Chicks: Once the chicks hatch, they will need to be fed a special diet and provided with proper care and attention until they are fully grown and ready to leave the nest.
- Health: Regular vet check-ups are important to ensure that your budgies and their offspring stay healthy.
Breeding budgies can be a challenging and time-consuming process, but it can also be a wonderful and enriching experience. If you’re a beginner, it’s important to educate yourself on the basics and be prepared to provide proper care and attention to your birds and their offspring.
Hello, then you should remove the male from the nest box. Female can take care of the babies, also you need to help her by providing a rich diet during raising chicks. Good luck
Thank you for your answer. No they are one year and younger. But i agree that i can buy a bigger cage and let them out when i’m home.
Hello,
Your budgies may be old? Or just don’t like each other, same as people 🙂 Also, maybe is the problem of space? Giving them larger cage can be more active, and feel freer. Also, try to let them fly in your room too. Thank you, wish you all the best.
Never force your budgie to do anything. First, your budgie needs to know that his cage is his home by providing enough space, food, and security. Same as getting him out, he needs to feel safe too. Let him learn to go outside his cage on his own and get back. Learn more about New Budgie Behavior
