I have 2 male and 1 female, and the males feed and nuzzle each other more than they do the hen. I think it's because Kady is so darn busy squawking that they can't get to her beak.  |

We would need to see some pictures to determine the sex.

Hi sweetiebudgie, im just a little confused too , if you could tell us a bit more about your set up it would also help. Im just wondering, if you are sure they are both males why would they have a nest box, if it is a nest box they are chewing. Are they in a aviary, do you colony breed or are they in a cage on their own. This info and pics would help to see what is going on . |

I've added pictures in the other feed called hello if you look there you will see them.
I had a male and female before that's why I added a nesting box then 2 weeks ago I got another 2 new birds that I thought was both males but I might be wrong and have paired up with my other 2 budgies that I've got

This sounds like a recipe for disaster to me, sorry.  You have what you think are three males and one hen?? And they are all in together with a nest box? If you are trying to breed, separate your breeding couple into their own cage with the nest box, and leave the other two (possibly) males to get on with life. Budgies are affectionate creatures and with bond with each other regardless of gender, and doesn't always have to be about sex. If you want to keep all the birds together, take out the nest box. |

I agree with Hezz, the boys will fight over her and will all want to get in on the act, sorry  |

She has picked the male she wants and they are all getting on fine with no fighting

That is for now; things can rapidly change and you could end up with dead birds. |

Things can change rapidly when a Hen comes into breeding condition, i would have a spare cage at the ready for your other boys.

When I first had my aviary I had intended to only have cocks but a hen sneaked in. She paired with a cock and they started courting. It became quite tense at times, if any of the other cocks came near he would chase them away. They had plenty of room to escape so it wasn't too bad.
