Help with male Budgie

[kelz]

Hi just wondering how i can get my budgie to stop regurgitating on everything! He is inside in a cage with a female who he does feed but she can only take so much of his offerings, he will regurgitate on toys and to try stop that i take them out which he will then go and feed the nest box lol i then cover it with something so he cant get to it so then resorts to feeding the cage doors any advice would be appreciate

Hello kelz. May I ask if you are wanting these two to breed, you have a nest box so I would assume you do? My limited knowledge on this is that the male is telling the female that he will be able to feed her when she is in the nest.

If you are not looking to breed with these two, take out the nest box. The nest box is only encouraging breeding/feeding behaviour. Young male budgies will often go through times when they will feed everything and anything. It is not a problem within itself but can make for a messy clean-up, as long as he is eating plenty and not losing weight.

Make sure they are getting plenty of sleep time. Increase their night time if at all possible, making sure that they have around 10-12 hours sleep each night.
