What else can I help you with?
Is it normal for budgies and cockatiels to share the same nest box and be in there at the same time?
It is not a good idea. If you provide a larger nesting box for the cockatiel and a small one for the budgie, there should be no problem. If the budgie has already claimed the larger nesting box as her own, you will never train her to leave, and will need to buy another large box for the cockatiel.

Why would all the budgie babies in 1 nesting box die?
