Will my parakeet's mate whether I put a nestbox surrounded by the pen?
Will they I really want them to
Answers: Hi,
Yes thay will, they will mate without a nest box but eggs will be laid on the bottom. You will need a definite masculine and female and they need to be in breeding condition, and of breeding age which is around 9months, they can breed younger but its not advise.
A single pair will not normally mate as budgies are group birds and need the group to spur them into breeding.
Check out this forum at hand are some experts on there and they will always help and will step into greater detail.
