They are male and females and all has settled down now. She laid one egg and they broke it while fighting in the nest box. Even after I put a second nest box in they still fought over the first one for awhile. She has not laid another egg and they seem to be at peace. We will see what happens...
I just found an egg but they are still trying to kill eachother. I am going to have to move him to a new cage. He won't even let her in the box with her egg. How many eggs do they lay?
Thank you helmstead I was assuming that they were just never going to mate they are 4 yrs. old and I was told they were past the baby making age. YEAH Babies, must be the water around here everything is making babies LOL Guess I need to google parakeet's to learn about what to do when they eggs...
Great I am glad I posted I am going to go get a new nest box today before they hurt each other. I just assumed he would be a gentleman and give the nest to her.
yes they have a big cage with a nest box and a lot of toys. She has her favorite swing that she loves. I just don't get it. Now they are sitting together on their perch like nothing happened. Like hey I am sorry I just tried to kill you. I can't figure them out. Here's the really weird thing...
I have had my two parakeets for 4 years. They have always lived together. One is a girl and one is a boy. Recently they started mating so I am thinking Oh good they love each other how sweet etc. well in the last 2 they started fighting and I mean really fighting. Rolling around on the bottom...
