Posted October 18, 200717 yr hey everyone i was just wondering if anyone can help me with this little problem i seem to have. i had most of my birds in a big cage and thought i would let them go and see if had fighting and stuff and i had a few fights and the pairs i found to be goin into other box's i put into breeding cages. now i have put them in there the birds in the breeding cages dont seem to be breeding is there any reason for this or not, when thye were all out they seemed to be jumping in box's one of them did have eggs until fighting got them thrown out, is there anything you can do to bring on the process of breeding some how or could it be them been put in smaller cages thanks jason
October 18, 200717 yr It will take them a little while to get used to the new cage setup. Have you any photos of the new setups so we can advise to help you ?
October 18, 200717 yr So many questions going through my mind. How long have they been in the breeding cages? How old are they? What is the set up you have? What are you feeding them? What type of nest box and where is it located? How big is the breeding cages?

What type of nest box and where is it located? How big is the breeding cages? they have been in the cages for about 2months now they are all over a year of age, feeding them normal seed aswell as silverbeet, grit and these bfrain food cake i make, cage size is about 600mm width x450mm high x400mm deep the box is situated in the left hand corner it size is about 150x150x200mm i made these myself a while ago i will get some photo's and post them on here.they breeding box's are situated in the big cage would that make a difference
October 18, 200717 yr Are they in breeding cages also in the aviary with loose budgies flying around them ?
October 18, 200717 yr There is your problem. They cannot get on with breeding if other birds are all over their breeder cages and free outside the cage for them to see and want to be free flying with the others

October 19, 200717 yr they have been in the cages for about 2months I would give them a break for a couple of weeks. Let them fly and become fit before retrying them.
