I don't know any animal that is really fussy about where to have sex - including parakeets.
Do not force them they can do it there self when they want to
parakeets are smart and have certain habits such as; .talking .sining
This bird has strange nesting habits. It will use nothing for nesting material. It will lay its eggs and sit on them just on the floor of its cage or nesting box or floor of the aviary.
Leave your parakeet alone . . . she knows what she's doing. Parakeets do not place bedding into their nesting boxes, so your pet is fine.
parakeets love to be protective of there baby's and they also like dark and private spaces since a nesting box is dark and small and private they will love to hatch they baby eggs in a nesting box and so they eggs cant fall and be safe too.
just place the nest box near the top of cage and make sure they have access to get in it and leave them alone
Parakeets (and parrots/budgies in general) only need a nest if you intend to be breeding them. Otherwise they do not need one and you should probably not provide it or they may begin to act like they are nesting and ignore other activities.
Nesting boxes for all types of birds are available at almost all pet stores, for fairly reasonable prices. If you find those expensive, you could make your own nesting box using a cardboard bow, twigs, hay, straw, thread, wool, cotton, etc.
Yes parakeets from pet stores such as pet smart and petco can breed and produce offspring. It is just a bit harder to do. To breed them, give them lots of sunlight for at least 10 hours a day. Then, make sure you have a male and a female. Then, make sure you give them a nesting box with wood shavings etc. for them to use as nesting material. To get them to go into the nesting box make sure you have treats around or inside it to lure them into it. Once they feel comfortable with the nesting box, they will breed and have babies. Please note that breeding parakeets can go wrong in many ways.. Even the parents can die if something goes wrong. Please have a certified Avian veterinarian that you can talk to commonly for questions and help if something were to go wrong. - hope this helped!
its just like ducs. they keep the eggs warm. so your bird is kepping those eggs warm. they wont die. i can garrentee that.
