Here we go yet AGAIN! *Parakeet eggs!*

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

OK I guess our little yellow Parakeet, Carla, and her mate, Stormy, really want to hatch out their own babies and be parents, because just last month she tried it a second time and managed to hatch the babies and raise them, but some other females raided the nest and killed them all. sad So we decided to let her take a rest by taking the nest box out. Then Stormy started to get picked on by the other Parakeets and so we moved him and Carla into a separate cage(so he wouldn't be lonely) and last week she laid a few eggs in the bottom of the cage! roll Even taking the nest box out won't stop her! Well at least she still had a long rest, and this time can try again. The first time the eggs weren't fertile, and the second try she was more experienced and would have succeeded if the other females hadn't attacked the nest. And now that she is separated from the other females, her eggs are fertile, and she has more experience, hopefully the baby parakeets will survive. And since she shouldn't lay them on the bottom of the cage(where poop and seeds, etc. are), we are going to put the nest box into the cage and put her and the eggs in it. fl
Hopefully she succeeds this time! fl

Send pics when they hatch!

Here is a link to a decent Budgie site to help you out with any questions. They were fantastic when our Budgie had babies.

Good Luck!

Usually 4-6, sometimes 8 or more at times. Carla usually lays 4 eggs.
They will lay 1 everyday, and they will hatch in that order...first one laid will hatch first, 2nd one laid will hatch second...etc.

Congratulations! woot  Good luck! yippiechickie

I like baby budgies! They look just like little dinosaurs.

If you can't laugh at yourself and in turn, everyone else, when you or they do something amusing, life is far too serious. Some folks just find more things amusing than others.

good luck with your parakeets. I hope you have a really good hatch  this time. take lots of pics. baby parakeets are the cutest lol., well after they become fuzzy .

If you want to make any animal into a mythical animal just add wings. for instance a lion becomes a griffon, a horse becomes a pegasus, and a hawk becomes a double hawk. -demtri martin.
