Budgerigars don't live in nests except when they are taking care of babies. They are cavity nesters, which means that they build nests in small spaces like holes in a hollow tree. In captivity, they live to build nests inside specially constructed nesting boxes.

Why do parakeets need a breed box to hatch their eggs and what is a breed box?

Parakeets, like most other domestic Birds, like to have a place that is most like a nest. A Breed Box is a special box made out of wood or some other material. In some Breed Boxes, there may or may not be a shallow dip in it, so the mother bird thinks her 'nest' is, well, more like a nest like in the wild.If you provide a nest box, it will Encourage a pair of birds to mate, and if the the female does in fact lay eggs, then she would most likely lay them in the most nest-like spot she can find in her cage.Sometimes birds will not mate or lay eggs because they do not have a Breed Box. I know this from past experiances with my own pairs of birds. I hope my info helped you =D
