I have got many messages about the problems of budgie breeding from many facebook friends today i am going to tell the possible reasons behind it.
Friends, budgie breeding needs patience. Always you would not be successful. Its not sure that every pair you are keeping in cage would breed i am telling now some reasons behind it.
1. Age
Your breeding pair should be minimum 8- 1.5 years old below than this age breeding will only result infertile eggs.
2. Good pair
For breeding you must need a good pair in most of the cases female chooses the male so after keeping a pair observe them closely if they are interested in each other or not if the female is showing no interest on the male more than one and half month then immediately change the male.
3. Pick healthy budgies
Never allow any unhealthy budgies to breed in most of the cases when unhealthy budgies breed then. They only produce infertile eggs or diseased chicks most of the cases the weak budgie leaves the chicks then it becomes your duty to rear the chicks i would suggest you friends always buy budgies from a good breeder you will get ready and healthy budgie from them that will help you.
4. Proper diet
Don't make your bird a food junkie. 50% of their food should be seeds and other 50% should be veggies, fruits, nuts, leafy greens with excessive seed diet they would become fatty and eggs would become infertile. So, always give them a complete nutritious diet.
5. Never do inter relative breeding
This is the most important point of all friends, please keep in mind that never do breeding between the budgies born from same mother. This mostly happens in colony breeding. Inter relative breeding in most of the cases creates diseased and deformed chicks so, be alert in this matter.
6. Keep silence and give privacy
Please give your bird privacy and keep silence. Every breeding female loves silence and privacy during breeding period. You and dont let your family to disturb them frequently the female can leave the eggs or chicks in frustration.
