Re: An Egg!!

She doesn't leave it for very long and I'm wary of touching it in case she rejects it. I did catch her and her 'hubby' in the act the other day and so the chances are that it has been fertilized.

We'll just wait awhile.

Re: An Egg!!

Do budgies etc lay unfertilized eggs? I've never seen any from a budgie.

Re: An Egg!!

I've read loads of stuff on budgie breeding during the last year or so and it seems that egg number two should turn up a couple of days after the first. It should be a clutch of up to six eggs.

It's now the end of day three and still no sign of another. It looks like Ken is destined to be an only child!

Juanita is still in her nesting box, so happen all is well. I feel a bit worried though.

Re: An Egg!!

Bad news I'm afraid.

I've been checking out Ken Egg every three days or so and all seemed fine. However, we came home this evening to find he had completely disappeared.

As he was due to hatch within a day or so and was fine earlier today, I'm completely lost on this one.

Really gutted too! Poor Ken x

Re: An Egg!!

I have a girl and a boy budgie who live together in their cage. How do I get them to make babies? I know I need a nesting box - but is that all I need to give them, and they just go in and "do the business"?

Re: An Egg!!

Maybe the egg was empty and it has been squashed and the birds have eaten the shell thinking it was grit?

Re: An Egg!!

That's the only thing I can think of, Kisser. All you do is provide the nesting box and they do the rest. You need to make sure that they have a good supply of calcium and grit. Fresh veg is good too, but not cabbage as it seems that is bad for them. Hope you have better luck than I've had.

Me too, Miss Kitty .. was following with interest.

At work, we have one of the ducks nesting in a window box .. we are all watching her with care ... problem is, the box is on a ledge about 4 and 1/2 feet high, so if any ducklings are produced, how they all gonna' get down ?

Maybe we can get together something like those escape chutes in aeroplanes .. any suggestions welcome.
