like I've said, you need some basic stuff to breed budgies.

let's start with *𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗴𝗲*
- needs to be wide
- 60x40 cm of the size at least
- needs 3 perches
- feeders and water bottles

the second important thing is a *𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲*, to breed them, you need male and female, and both need to be at least 11 months old and love each other. preening, kissing, feeding, and courting each other is a great sign that they fell in love 😍

now goes a *pre-breeding* and *breeding 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁*... with healthy food you will force your birds to mate because in the wild when there's plenty of food, especially in summer, that means that the breeding season will start! 😁 offer sprouted seeds, vegetables, fruits, soft food, seeds, cuttlefish bones, mineral block, organic apple cider vinegar, water drops 💧

then, I mentioned a *𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘅* that needs to be big and made of wood, with a concave inside, and a door that you can open or close, I recommend the size of 25x18x18 cm and with 5 cm of hole (entrance), here is how you can attach the nest 10:12 😁 Place a concave dish inside the nesting box to prevent splayed legs

now what you need to observe is a sign of *a pregnant budgie*, after they have mated you will notice a swollen abdomen, excessive eating, spending more time inside the best box, and other sounds that you can see here 12:17 🐥

after she lays an egg, in that period you're going to give more water, calcium food, and vegetables, then after 18,19,20, or 21 days of *incubating* - the first chick will hatch.

𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗴𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵?
- that means that they are not fertile :( or the chick died in the embryo state probably because the eggs were not incubated properly, a female was laying on them with wet feathers, or it got broken somewhere... you can throw the eggs and try after a year :(

note: female budgies can lay eggs even without a male but they're going to be infertile 😕

𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗴𝗴𝘀?
- https://youtu.be/rNXZIk3o2sk

they can be bred only twice a year, too much breeding is exhausting and it's going to kill both of the parents

𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴?
- I would choose rainy and warm months such as July - August - September - October

𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀?
- keep giving them vegetables, seeds, a few fruits, and of course egg food 🥚

... for 30 days, they're going to be fully feathered and then they start coming out of the nest. now it's time to start the *weaning period* 17:13
