- How to Breed a Pet Parakeet. Part of the series: Pet Birds. Breeding pet parakeets only requires putting two parakeets in the same cage, providing a nest box and letting them do the work, but keeping the birds in great health and hand-rearing the young are important factors in bird breeding. Take the time to raise the baby parakeets when breeding birds with information from a pet hobbyist in this free video on pet care. Read more: www.ehow.com/video_4951845_bre...

You should NEVER EVER use those types of nests for parakeets! The mother will be very uncomfortable while laying and brooding with such little space, not to mention the babies will grow up with crooked tails or abnormal limbs due to the circular and confined space. Budgie babies should have room to walk in the nest box and the gen should be in the same space as the babies, NOT hanging over them. Please never use those nests for your budgies. If you dont believe me, and/or disagree, you have not done enough research to raise baby birds! Sorry for the negative input!! The video was great other than that. My sources are other youtube videos, websites, and plenty of budgie/breeding experience.
I agree completely, however unfortunate that may be. What concerns me is that people who want to breed birds and take advantage of the internet as an important research are receiving this bad information and most likely embracing it due to the lack of guidance when it comes to such a low-popularity topic. Glad people are upping this to spread the word!!!
i agree
Taylor Peca bird pervert
What is a “gen”?
You right You need to get a bird house for the cage
This guy looks like the stereo-typical gamer
Jonjon Engleberg yup. Or a weaboo.
What a dummy
DO NOT USE SUCH NESTS FOR PARAKEETS!!! Those are nests for finches or canaries, for example. Furthermore, let the mom and dad feed their babies, don't hand feed them unless absolutely necessary (visibly weak baby or babies, or the parents not feeding them enough). Taming them comes at a later stage, when they start to leave the nest.
And a parakeet lays one egg per day, not two every two days. And they hatch the same way, one every day, at around day 21. Most clutches hold 3-4 eggs, but there are exceptions of course.

Hi! Can you please tell me how to make my parakeets have babies?
I’m a breeder. Do NOT listen to this guy’s advice! You need a nest box, with the lid on the top so you can check in on the babies, and remove any dead ones. You need nesting material , preferably shavings to line the bottom of the nest box. About an inch and a half. This is to protect the babies legs from becoming splayed. You need a night light near the cage, in case the babies cry at night. That way, the hen will feed them. You need Petamine Breeder food to put in a separate food dish so the hen will eat, and share with the babies. You need to keep mineral block, and cuttlebone in the cage. This will help the hen form the egg. They lay one egg every 48 hours. Chart it, and give it 18-24 days to hatch.
They don't lay eggs in clutches of 2, they lay one every other day. Most of my nests have 6 eggs each.
Just because you work at a pet store doesn't mean you know what the heck your talking about. Your information is very lacking and miss leading! People if you are wanting to breed your birds, please don't listen to what this guy says or shows you, he clearly doesn't know what he is talking about.
Specifics? Why doesn't he know what he's talking about?
@@guydreamr Several reasons, actually.
1. He showed a finch's nesting box. That is an inadequate box for adult parakeets, let alone chicks. The mother would not have enough space to care for 6 chicks.
2. Never separate chicks from their mother, for most beginners, this is sentencing the chicks to a very early death as nobody has the time to feed chicks every 5 minutes unless it is literally your job.
3. He did not mention any dietary specifications for the mother, which can lead to deficiencies and health issues. The mother may be malnourished and the eggs may be unhealthy.
4. He failed to mention nesting materials. Never use cotton or string, always use wood shavings, unscented pine is the preferred wood. Cedar, walnut, and corncob beddings can irritate or straight-up kill your parakeet. Cedar has a very strong smell that irritates parakeets and they may just throw it out of the nest just to get rid of it. It should also go without saying, but some people are this stupid... Don't use cat litter for birds. The chemicals used in cat litter are toxic to parakeets even in small amounts.
Most everything he spewed was blatant stupidity guaranteed to get chicks killed or horridly deformed. I know he said nothing about cat litter, I was just adding that on in case someone was like "I wonder if I could do this instead?"
Hope this helps
@@Whatthefudgecookie It does, thanks for the input!
That makes a lot of sense.
My sister bird might fly in your hand or on you but the way that bird was comfortable with him almost leaving the tail in his palm I've never seen. I'm guessing she probably even let him rub her🤔
Never use a small nest it will be tight in there use midium sized nests
i got one of those nest yesterday @ Petco the guy that works there told me that was a good nest for parakeets and also to get nest material its cotton & thread. i saw the tag that said for finch birds but no parakeets i just figure he works he knows better than me after seeing this video & reading the comments below i feel like returning but i have no receipt n tags are no longer in the nest.🤨😖🙍♀️
This video is full of bullshit. Please, no one listen to him. He clearly doesn't know anything about breeding parakeets. It's absolutely fine for the babies to be raised by they're parents! They can become tamed very easily if handle from a young age! Also you should NEVER let budgies breed in that nest! Only nestboxes, that nest is suitable for finches and canaries! Research and don't rely on videos!
Crazy Spirit I agree I have parakeets and the nest is big
yeah noticed he was full of BS when i saw the nest bc clearly he doesn't breed them and is just assuming with some all almost true facts he can remember smh
Great job
“ dont let the parents raise them...” wtf are you crazy. that’s is just upsetting. The parents do a much better job than humans at raising them and your budgies will be a lot healthier if the parents raise them.
All of my budgies are parent raised and live in an aviary but they are super tame and give me kisses and sit on my finger and shoulder happily. If you take the time taming them are the parents have done there job you’ll have a lot more of success rate!!
Yeah
I agree!
I also have budgies one is Paul and one is Peter
I use to breed parakeets years ago and i don't agree with what he saying. I used a breeding box that was much larger. I created the box myself. Also I feed my birds toast with scalded milk each morning and the parents fed it to the birds. I never fed the babies. Also you need 3 birds in order to breed. The birds need to hear other birds to breed. All my babies were healthy and extremely friendly.
Just FYI - I have successfully raised parakeets with just the mom and dad, no 3rd keet needed - and if there was a third keet in the same cage the hen would kill it
What do u feed them
U can still let the mom raise them it'll just make it hard to tame them in my opinion it's better cause why have them breed and not be able to raise their babys
random fush swimming in the backround XD
I was looking at them and not listening 😂
I tried that nest but my birds ripped it in pieces
how many time in a year budgie breed?!
Bappy Hossain at the very most 2 times per year
2, in the spring and fall
Its between 4 and 8 eggs actually. In most cases.
do i need to separate male and female after she has babies
No
That nest box is WAY TO SMALL my bird boxes are big with LOTS bigger!
Hi Dana
You need A NESTING BOX
Nestbox
Ohhhh
Don't let them lay and broad eggs in that nest, buy a box instead!
why would my male stop feeding the babies?
They need a beatbox and the bird needs to feed the babies
A breeding box, not a beatbox. ;)
But don't the mother and dad be feeding the creature???
Sorry, but that is not the correct nest for a Parakeets your budgies. Those are nests for finches. Parakeets and budgies need a rectangular box, Much bigger than a little nest you showed.
Uhm so recently I saw my budgies mating ..... OOF
that’s a fat oof
How to make them to breed
@@prathapmesa3926 Do you mean how do you make them breed?
Parakeet sky blue male female
why not the mom and dad feed their babys
I always feed my parakeet once a day
omg how is he/she standing there just on your finger?!!? can't get mine to do that lololll
He told us everything we know lol
WHAT this guy said you need to feed them EVERY 5 minutes!!! Well that would not be possible for anyone to ever raise baby birds ...you'd need several people just for feeding one bird, you couldn't ever sleep, eat yourself, take a shower go anywhere ever.....impossible!! 5 minutes what a joke!!
I think this dude has gave out more wrong info then anyone on TH-cam 😂😭
Appreciate the effort dude.
Little more research is needed though.
That nest !? Come on. Not good information.
This guy don't know what he's talking about.. Do not take his advice
The heck! This guys should stick to beards. That seems to be all he knows about. That and glasses. And sideburns. Maybe fish.
Step one: dont
This is very bad information.
random fush swimming in the backround XD
