Albert and Nikio are a bonded pair that I have house together by themselves because none of my budgies are at home at the moment. Anyway they are dead keen on making babies. Niko had had a bulging bum for a few days, but I had never seen any eggs. Anyway I went up to talk to them and saw her heaving and puffing in the corner, so I decided to leave her be while she laid her egg. In about 2 minute I see her up on the perch with her wings spread wide open. It's hard work laying eggs. I went over to have a look and saw a little egg in the corner. I was busy at the time so I didn't take it out straight away. Then naughty mr albert came down and started attacking the egg. made a significant hole and then Nikio came and joined him in eating the egg. It thought I'd just let them eat it, she needed the protein after making that egg!!. So looks like it'll be hard if I ever want to breed from them, but I won't be doing that for a long time anyway. brats.

:ygbudgie: If you take the egg out, another will be laid. Can you remove whatever is enticing them to breed or is there obviously no trigger in place?

ahhahaha silly budgies :budgiedance:

She must feel she's lacking in calcium and protein i guess :S?

Absolutely no trigger whatsoever
