If you are asking this, you are probably colony breeding budgies in an aviary I highly advise you stop breeding and research budgies for a few years and then you may start planning. Hens will destroy other pairs eggs for a few different reasons. The hen may want the nesting box for herself to use, so she cleans it out. She may want to breed with the cock so she destroys the pairs eggs. She may just be jealous. Never, ever, ever keep more than one breeding pair in a single breeding box or aviary. I also do not recommend the use of aviaries for breeding. Keeping an uneven amount of hens and cocks in a breeding environment will result in bloody fights.

What happens to female parakeets after they give birth?
Parakeets do not give birth to live babies but rather they lay eggs. Each batch of eggs is called a clutch. After the female parakeet lays the eggs she lays on them to keep them warm until they hatch.
You thought your 2 parakeets were male and female but in 3 years there have been no eggs Why?
Your parakeets may have not been male and female they might have just been 2 females or 2 males.
Is your female parakeet going to die if she lays eggs?
No. Parakeets are supposed to lay many eggs, kind of like a chicken.

The parakeets will lay their eggs in a nest that they build themselves. The parakeets will sit on the eggs until all have hatched. The eggs should hatch after 18 days.

Can a female parakeet have babeys without mating?
No, parakeets must have a mate in order to lay fertilized eggs. If they don't have a mate, the parakeet's eggs will be hatched unfertilized, meaning that they will not carry a baby.
Can 3 male parakeets live happily together?
No. Three parakeets CANNOT mate. Say you have two females, and one male parakeet. One of the females will mate with the male and will create about 4 to 8 eggs. The other female will just sit and watch. Though, I do recommend that you keep an even number of parakeets in a cage for successful breeding. Just saying. Well, enjoy breeding your parakeets! My birds had 6 babies! *There sooo cute!*
Why do parakeets sometimes reject their eggs?
Parakeets will sometimes reject their eggs because of stress or if they believe their cage is not large enough. They may crack their own eggs or simply abandon them.
