Two of my budgies, Ginkgo and Lily, have always seemed very friendly with eachother (preening, feeding, etc.) Now, they have been all the time. A couple days ago I caught Ginkgo trying to mount and mate Lily. I have done my research and would love to seperate them from the others and breed them, but haven't quite gotten the okay from my mother. What should I do? They are in a flight cage with eight other budgies. Should I just leave them? What if she lays eggs? Should I take them away?

Budgies can have recreational sex and not actually lay so she (should) be okay there is the hen that will lay an egg on the aviary floor and if she does you can toss it or take her and her mate and put her into a breeding box. Don't put any breeding box in the aviary as that can cause problems. So if you get the okay closed breeding is a good decision.
