I. Breeding performance of budgerigars
The main breeding seasons of budgerigars Concentrating on June to January of the following year, when the budgerigar enters the breeding season, if the parrot wants to breed, the female parrot and the male parrot will have some abnormal movements, and the female bird will generally walk in the bird cage. Walks around, looks irritable, and may keep pecking at things. If there are males inside, the males will start chasing the females, and then keep teasing the females with their beaks, trying to get the females to agree to be more intimate with them.
Second, what should be paid attention to during the breeding period of budgerigars?
After the parrot enters the breeding period, if the owner wants to pair the parrot, it is best to select the opposite sex bird with little difference in species, size and age to improve the success rate of pairing. After the two parrots are successfully paired, they will start to mate and breed. The owner should prepare a wooden breeding box for them in the bird cage in advance for the parrot to lay eggs.
Before the budgies lay eggs, the mother bird will frequently enter the nest (that is, the breeding box) and sometimes stay in it for a long time to prepare herself for laying eggs. After conception, the feces of the female bird will be thicker than usual, and the owner can easily find it when comparing the feces of the male bird.
If the owner finds that the reproductive cavity of the female bird is red and swollen after mating for a period of time, it means that it is ready to lay eggs, but some female birds may not have any signs before laying eggs, so the owners should not worry , wait in peace.
Warm reminder:
Budgies have a relatively strong reproductive capacity. Although the breeding frequency is higher in spring and autumn, in fact, as long as there is a chance, parrots can breed all year round, but it is recommended that you choose to breed parrots in spring, autumn and winter, because the weather is hot in summer and bacteria breeds more. If this When breeding young birds, it may affect the health of mother and young birds and reduce the survival rate of young birds.
