You don't "build a nest" persay... you get a nesting box. You install the nesting box in the far corner of the cage (safer there) and let the parrots work their magic. You can get the boxes at any good Pet Store, and don't forget to put something soft for bedding (also available at said Pet Store). If you don't know what to do exactly, DON'T GET THE BOX.

How do you stop two budgies from fighting?

Border Collies are well known for being same sex aggressive so it's best not to have them together at all. Failing that, the dogs should have their own toys, sleeping areas (securely away from each other), feeding areas and so on. Constant supervision is essential and you should be able to stop any challenging behavior before it escalates. When you can't supervise, the dogs should be separated and confined to their own separate space.

Every time your dogs fight, it will reinforce their reasons for fighting and make it so much more difficult to train out, it is essential that you do not allow it to happen again.

How do you know if a bird finch is pregnant?

Birds don't really get pregnant in the typical sense of the term. Female birds periodically produce eggs. We eat chicken eggs, for example. Eggs can be produced even if the bird has not mated. The eggs will be unfertilized, and will not contain a chick.

Birds have the instinct to nest when they lay eggs, even if they are not fertilized. If your pet bird lays an egg, the egg should be removed so the bird will not become attached to it and attempt to incubate an unfertilized egg.

If a bird is producing an egg and about to lay one, the bird will usually spend time on the ground or the bottom of the cage, and perhaps back up against the cage wall to lay the egg. She may seem lethargic or tired, and her abdomen may have a bulge in it.

If your bird seems to be trying to lay an egg, and the egg does not come out in an hour or so, take it to the vet immediately. The bird can die if the egg does not come out.

How can you find a budgie bird in a house?

Catching a budgie that has escaped can be tricky, but here are some tips: 1. Make sure that your windows and exterior doors are closed. Trying to find a lost bird in your house is hard enough, but trying to find a lost bird outside can be heartbreaking. 2. Close all the doors inside the house, including closet and cabinet doors. Check inside closets and cabinets before closing the door. That will keep the bird from going from room to room and making the search more difficult. Open and close doors carefully as you search from room to room. 3. Look up. Budgies feel safer on high perches. Your budgie may be on top of curtain rods, bookshelves, or door frames. 4. Turn off as many things as you can that make noise. Your budgie will probably chirp or squawk occasionally and you can follow the sounds.

What to do when budgies hatch?
