I can't tell if this is a dumb question or if you worded it wrong. Anyway, generally they need 12 hours of sleep a day. Some of this they do during the day (like when no one is home) and at night. Make sure you parakeet is getting enough sleep at night.

you can but they may fight and seriously injure each other or one may be picked on by the other some more serious results of bullying are broken jaws and the bullied finch may pluck its feathers out ect. i would advise housing two females instead although they may not look as good they will get along better than two malezs

I have two male zebra finches that have been together for a long time and they are best friends. They occasionally fight, but they make up quickly and they have neever hurt each other.

It's the little colored band above their beak with the two little holes in it. You can tell a male and a female apart by the color of the cere once the birds are older. The cere will be blue if it is a boy and pinkish brown if it is a girl. The colors will change often when they are under 6 months old, but when they are about that age the color will settle. A cere is the nose

Generally, two of either sex, without one or more of the other sex, will live OK together. But nothing in life is guaranteed.

i have always known it to be the color of the band right above the beak,,: if it is blue color it is a male and if it is a pinkish color it is a girl

The band can also be a purple color in which case is a male, or a brown or whit color which is a female. I have two parakeets.

On an average, they can lay 3-5, but my own parakeet just laid her 8th egg. I'm planning to empty her cozy nesting cotton, that I had put for her when she started laying. She found it too comfortable and is on a egg-laying spree.
They only lay one egg at a time . Then they keep laying them .
between 6 to 9
Normally they can have up to 3-8 eggs.

Ideally you shouldn't paint it at all - lots of paints contain chemicals that are toxic to birds. You're better off buying a cage that is already painted using the powder-coating technique or getting a stainless steel cage that doesn't need painted. Make sure you get your cage from a reputable bird supply company because a cage with toxic materials or spaces where wings and feet can get caught is very bad for your bird.

No, once they are outside they will revert back to their wild behavior. Being raised by humans would mean that they don't have the skills to survive as a wild bird, but they will try and probably won't make it. If their species is not native to your area, they could freeze or starve in winter. This is not a good idea.

If it is a wild's bird nest that is being used by a bird family, I would just leave it alone until the eggs hatch and the babies have left it. If it is a pet bird's nest, do the same thing.

•

I wouldn't. If the nest is moved, and with human scent on it, the mother bird will usually abandon it. Leave it be until the baby birds are kicked out to fly on their own. Then it can be removed.

It depends on the species. Larger species of parrots can remember things for decades, smaller birds will remember things for years.

if you don't want chicks hard boil the eggs and give them back to them or simply take the nest off them and if you do want chicks take 2 nests off the pair and then take the nest strait away from them if you do want chicks and they have a nest when they lay the next nest u will ave to separate the chicks from the parents because when they lay the next nest they will literally beat the first chicks to death.
