First, your male parakeet will began coming closer to your female parakeet. Then, he will slowly put his foot on your female. When your male is on top of your female, the female's tail will go up, and the male's tail will go down. This is when their butts will touch. About 10 to 15 days later, your female will lay her first egg. She will lay one egg every other day until she has about 4 to 8 eggs. All this usually happens during early spring. And remember, DO NOT remove your breeding female, or male at any time!

There are dozens of different species of parrot that can be classified as parakeets, but the most common one in the pet trade is the budgerigar.

Budgerigars have several common courting behaviors. Males will usually sing/warble in an attempt to impress the female. Males will also enthusiastically bob their heads at females. If they are interested in each other, both sexes will regurgitate food for each other, and allopreen each other, especially on the head and neck. A female who wants to mate will hold her back flat and lift her tail up in an invitation for the male to mount her. You might also notice that a budgerigar's pupils will contrict and dilate rapidly (called flashing or pinning) when they are excited about something. Flashing is common during courting, but can also happen in response to a particularly good treat or toy.

Can an older female parakeet mate with a young female parakeet?

Mounting, as if mating, is a sign of real or attempted dominance in many birds, so it does not neccessarily mean any mating takes place. If you mean can they form a (bonded) pair, rather than can they mate, the answer is yes - many birds that normally have strong pair-bonds will bond to whatever they can if deprived of a normal partner. Pet birds can bond to humans, other pets or inanimate objects, such as toys.
