What to do when a Parakeet is laying an egg?
what do we do from here. leave them alone? When they hatch what do we do with the babies?
Hi,
If you can afford to, go to a local pet store and buy a parakeet nesting box (about $10-$15). Attach the nesting box to the cage on the outside, with the hole facing the inside of the cage. The nesting box hole will have to be positioned on the cage where the birds can go in and out of the hole, but not escape from the cage.
Once you have a nesting box up, the birds may take right to it and go in and continue laying up to 6-8 eggs, 1 every other day. OR they might be scared of it at first, but leave it there and they’ll get used to it. You can choose to move the egg(s) laid on the cage bottom to the nesting box, but be very careful handling them. Use gloves or something so you don’t touch the eggs with your bare skin. The parents might abandon those eggs and only accept any laid in the nesting box. This depends on the individual birds.
She may not start incubating her eggs (sitting on them) until the second egg is laid (some start with the second, some the first, some the third).
