Hi, I have a pair of budgies for breeding. They are not eating fruits and boiled eggs, even when I offer them. Their only diet is foxtail millets and spinach, so I searched in web to see how to get them to eat veggies but unfortunately all the steps are for tamed budgies as mine are not tamed...
Yes the room is busy, but my whole house is busy!. So I kept them in the least busy room.
The male will sometimes tries to get the female out of the nest by softly preening. but not too much disturbance to abandon her nest.
I don't know about their age as the breeder is doing colony breeding.
Here's the photo of the nest pot.
I can't put big sized pot than this because the entrance is small and there's only three - two for food and water and another for general purpose so I can't go for wooden nest box.
Sorry for blurry picture because she is incubating the eggs so I don't want to...

They are 4 months old. Yes, I am in India so it's hot here. They also sometimes open their mouth to cooldown. I can't get fecal float because there are no poultry vet nearby.
It's night here so I will take pictures in morning.
In my country there are no grower or starter feed so I feed them boiled/Unboiled rice, wheat, milk. They eat grass in large amount while free ranging unlike my other flock of adult hens.
I am sure all chickens will eat because I have seen all...

The female will peck at it if he got too close to the nest while playing. But not aggressive enough to cause bleeding. He sometimes get bored and play all over the cage, and sometimes stuck beneath the food bowl.
I have no other pets.
