There are so many things that can go wrong during the breeding process. The following sections will give you a better understanding of what is needed to breed parakeets from choosing breeding birds to selling your babies. Please read this section carefully before deciding if you want to breed your parakeets.
Breeding parakeets takes a strong commitment. The birds lay the eggs, the eggs hatch, and the birds feed the babies. But there are a lot of things to consider. For instance, are you going to let the parents raise the babies and then hand train them or will you hand feed the babies so they will be tame from the beginning? Hand feeding is a full time job.
There are also many problems that can arise that will make it even more time consuming. What if the baby birds are born deformed or die soon after hatching? You must decide if you want to spend the time it will take to see the parakeets grow up healthy and strong.
Before you begin your venture, you will need to find a suitable breeding pair. Not only must you make sure that your birds are male and female sometimes it takes DNA analysis before this can be determined but you must also be aware of genetic mutations and what the babies will look like. Just make sure the other bird does not have the same flaws. Your birds must be healthy and mature.
Parakeets can breed as early as a few months old but they really should not until they are ten or twelve months old. Waiting until they are more mature will help ensure that they will sit on the eggs properly and take care of the babies, as they should. Before breeding your pair, you will need to have the proper breeding setup. The cage should be at least 18 inches in width, 12 inches in height, and 12 inches long.
There will also need to be a nesting box of approximately 6 inches by 6 inches by 10 inches. So, what is the mating and gestation period of parakeets and how can you tell? When parakeets are ready to mate, they will start to perch close to one another.
The female may regurgitate her food on the male, and she will lift her tail. In the normal situation, most psittacines or parrots will lay a clutch varying from eggs, then sit on the eggs until they hatch. On occasion, a solitary bird may lay a clutch of eggs and then sit on them as if they were fertile. This is why many people recommend leaving the eggs in the cage with the bird.
As we said before, budgies parakeets do not need a nesting box to mate. Before laying the egg, the bird will usually produce visibly larger-than-usual bowel movements.
