Re: Female Budgie Behavior
Posted by Debbie from Calif. on 12/27/06

Sorry I dont check the Budgie site too often but saw your
question and another post nothing to do with birds or
helping you so I thought I would try to tell you what I
thought and hope others help as well.
The budgies can get crazy like that during breeding times
and some are much worse than others that for sure. I had
many parakeets in my aviary and once in a great while that
would happen or they would kill their babies or others if
they could so they could have the nest.
I sold all of mine and bought the bigger more mellow English
parakeets as they seem to not be as bad or crazy as the
American parakeets plus they are easier to tame too I think.
I wouldnt have a nest in a pet birds cage because it will
encourage them to want to breed. The female sounds like it
is serious to breed so a male will only make her worse and
then there comes fertile eggs.
Hope this helps some.
Sorry all of you had to loose a bird like that too.
Debbie
