When a sperm cell meets an egg cell, the head of the sperm fuses with the egg. The flagellum of the sperm is lost, its work is finished. The information in the nucleus of the male's sperm can combine with the information in the nucleus of the female's egg to produce an offspring. This important event is called fertilization. If fertilization takes place inside the female's body - as it does in mammals or birds - it is called internal fertilization. If it happens outside the female, in water, it is called external fertilization.

How do you know if a parakeet is going to hatch eggs?

Noramally, is pretty difficult to determine wether the bird will lay eggs or not. But keep in mind if it's one bird, it wont hatch. It takes a female and male. Females can lay eggs on their own but it wont be fertilized. You could probably tell if the bird goes inside a nesting box (if she has one) often.
