I will post your answered here:

 

1. Yes they should be separated here is a good article from our forums about colony and closed breed

Colony vs Closed

 

2. no you don't have to really put anything in the breeding boxes as the hen will usually kick it out.

 

3. Australian spring/summer--which is US late Fall/winter. Budgies are not fertile year round. They will only breed when they are in breeding condition. Read here for more Breeding Age

 

4. Depends on the pair of birds usually you will see an egg within a week

 

5. Australian spring/summer--which is US late Fall/winter
