Thank you!!! I'm not sure how old he is I think he is about 7 or 8 months. Lizzy is laying her eggs on the bottom of the cage on the newspaper, this has been her place of choice for a while now, even though she has a box she won't go in it. She has 2 eggs so far.

Thanks! I check her everyday when I give her fresh food and water, she is in the dining room next to the living room, so I can keep an eye on her all the time without disturbing her. I put the box about a week and a half before she actually laid the egg, but still didn't go in it. She has 2 eggs now, I wasn't sure if she had anymore when I posted the last message because she looked like she was ready to lay another one, but I didn't want to bother her, she laid it later that day. She has always laid her eggs on the newspaper, only once she did in the box, but her eggs never hatched. Her previous mate Loui had a broken wing from birth, and I think that is part of the reason her eggs wheren't fertilized, since he couldn't balance well. We'll see if that is the case, this is her first time laying eggs since her and Morgan have been put together. Lizzy is around 5 years old. She is laying on them. even Morgan lays next to her at nap time, I think it's so sweet Thank you for the replies.

Hello all! My parakeet Lizzy has been with her new mate Morgan for a while now, and has laid an egg in the past week (she might have another one, I'll have to check) Anyway, when I saw that she was in "nesting" mode, I put the box in their cage, but she decided to make her nest on the newspaper instead. my question is, how do I clean her cage, I can't change the newspaper because her nest would be gone if I do that...She's always liked the newspaper better than the box... Do you think if I put the eggs in the box she'll ignore them? She doesn't even go in the box.... Have you had parakeets do this before? Also, any special nutrition for her? Thanks!

Here's a New picture of Captain Morgan. He and Lizzy are official now. have been living in the same cage for a while and get along great. He is a little more skittish with me :hap: But loves Lizzy. Lizzy is laying eggs at the moment, he has been so attentive with her, he even lays next to her and takes naps with her in the afternoon. I haven't seen them mate, but I saw them flirting A LOT with each other. Anyway, here is Morgan while I took them out the other day, it was a beautiful day so they were out on the back porch for a while

Here's Morgan while having a little bit of fresh air the other day, and Lizzy flapping her wings next to him, she hates her picture taken, I can never get a good one of her, Morgan doesn't seem to mind
