The budgies are bred to lay eggs at six months.

Breeding considerations for budgies:

1, the breeding birds of the pair should be healthy and distantly related, if they are inbred, the offspring of the individual becomes smaller, and when the eggs are laid and incubated, dead eggs or dead chicks will be produced.

2, budgies develop into adult birds five to eight months after they emerge from the shell. From the young birds into adult birds of the sign in addition to changes in the color of the wax membrane, can also be seen from the changes in the forehead of the head horizontal lines, the young bird's forehead has a black horizontal lines. When the fine black horizontal stripes on the forehead of the young birds disappear, they can be paired for breeding.

3, the budgerigar's ability to reproduce is strong, in captivity, all seasons can reproduce, but the spring and fall are better. After the male and female birds mate, the female bird can lay eggs by entering the nest box, will not leave the nest, and will be fed entirely by the male bird. The female lays eggs every other day or every day, 3 to 8 eggs per clutch, with white shells.

Breeding of budgerigars:

1. Budgerigars reach sexual maturity at the age of 4 months, and can be bred as breeding birds.

2, budgies can breed all year round, generally 4 to 7 eggs per nest, eggs are white, every day or every other day 1 egg, in the production of the third egg when the female began to sit in the nest incubation, incubation is dominated by females, the incubation period of 18 days. Male and female parent birds **** the same brood, brood period of about 30 days.

3, female birds in the incubation period is more sensitive to external interference, try to keep the environment quiet, so as not to abandon the nest after the parent bird is frightened, affecting the incubation and brood. Breeding birds in winter room temperature should be maintained above 20 ℃, relative humidity 45% to 50%, to maintain indoor air circulation.

4, budgerigar breeding peak of up to 3 to 4 years, after the breeding rate gradually declining, in order to purify the breeding bird flock restoration, should be constantly updated breeding birds. The average life expectancy of budgies is 7 years.
