Hello
I have two budgies , a boy and a girl, and I was wondering if it is possible to breed them. Jasper is 2 years old and Jerry is 1year and 8 months. The cage 70x43x43cm. Jerry and Jasper get along very well. It is currently early spring. We don't have any other budgies but I do have a series of tapes with budgies noises that we used when jasper was little ;D. I don't have nesting box as of yet, I have been doing research and i wanted you guys opinions of the situation before I buy anything
Thanks

www.officialbarrieshuttbudgerigars.com/basicbreeding.htmI am not a fan of one pair breeders Kiara, they may lay eggs, and they may hatch ,but if mum does not feed them that vital crop milk they will die. If you had another pair breeding you could foster unfed chicks to the other pair.

I forgot to mention this but the next door neighbours have a female budgie who is 3 years old. She has had one foster baby before and it lived and grew up to be healthy. She is the back up budgie who will serve as a foster mum if any of the babies don't get fed. She has a mate.

Yay, I was wondering if you have any tips. This will be my first time breeding. I read lots of manuals and from what i gathered jasper isn't in breeding condition, but he was about 2 months ago. Im doing the whole make them think its spring and cleaning their cage lots as well as feeding them millet to fatten jerry up and regular veggies. Do you happen to know how long until jasper will be in breeding condition again? I think he was in breeding condition but Its breeding season now so i just have to hope
