This is my very first time breeding budgies and I have set up two pairs. I will create a breeding journal for each. This journal is for Beau and Bella. The are exhibition type budgies and are both light green spangles although Beau is also opaline. I got them on 15th March this year from a local breeder. Beau's d.o.b: 15th November 2010 Bella's d.o.b: 13th July 2011 They were paired up on the 21st June 2012. Any experienced advice is gratefully appreciated.

Every day I check on them twice, once in the morning and again in the evening. I haven't seen Bella in the nestbox but the shavings have clearly been disturbed.

Disturbed shavings are always a good sign. Your pair is beautiful. Best of luck with your breeding round

Is it not 18 days from the second egg? It's 18 days since the hen starts the incubation. Some do so from first egg, most from second egg and some even from third egg.

Checked on the budgies this morning to find both Beau & Bella in the nestbox Is this a normal thing? Or something to worry about?
