Posted June 16, 200817 yr Hi again My budgie's George and Lumina do this thing where George runs up and down the perch to her and they hit beaks what are they doing? And second do Budgie's mate in nest box cuz because the other day I think they did, my friend said that it's probly equivalent to doing it in a bedroom. Moderator’s Message changed cuz to because. please do not use shortcuts - use only approved shortcuts found in guidelines. Edited June 16, 200817 yr by birdluv
June 16, 200817 yr Hi Jodie, George and Lumina are just flirting - Is George singing and bobing his head as well?? these are all pre-mating behaviors. My understanding is that budgies only mate on a perch, and not in a nest box (or other flat surface)

June 16, 200817 yr Author He is flirting and bonding with Lumina - a great sign for future eggs oh wow that was quick and he does this most the day and then feeds her and i think she gets a bit ticked off by it not sure he also does this thing where he looks like he kicks her but she pushes him away, I think hes in condition and she's going in. Edited June 16, 200817 yr by Jodie
June 16, 200817 yr The "kicking" is him trying to mount her to mate. Her moving away is quite normal, but when she is ready she will squat down on the perch and raise her tail, then he will climb on her back and they will mate

June 16, 200817 yr Author also I'd like some advise for my friend her budgie's keep mating and producing eggs and the hen throws them out then lays more and throws them out.Hmmmm.... How old is she? do you know??about two years and the male is about 5 years and just so you know there Bailey and George's mama und papaAwwww... doesn't look like there is any bonding issues there I'll take more tomorrow after schoolI just found this one
June 16, 200817 yr about two years and the male is about 5 years and just so you know there Bailey and George's mama und papa There are so many things it could be. Diet, cage size, bird condition, health issues, hormonal issues , behavorual issues I would say your friend needs to remove the nest box for a month, and try them again after a break - hopefully it will break the cycle. Oh, and while they are having a break, ensure they are getting lots of fresh food and vegies to get them in peek condition before breeding again. Edited June 17, 200817 yr by KAZ
June 16, 200817 yr Author she dont feed them veggies thats why i am finding it so hard to get George and Bailey to eat them Lumina does and Sky i still wont try yet Edited June 17, 200817 yr by KAZ
June 16, 200817 yr she dont feed them veggies thats why i am finding it so hard to get George and Bailey to eat them Lumina does and Sky i still wont try yet They all need more than just seed to breed properly. your friends birds probably have a vitamin deficiancy and would cause the egg tossing behaviour - are they eating the eggs too??? Keep trying with vegies everyday, try different ways of presenting it. mine like their vegies whole and uncooked - Some breeders grate/dice their vegies. You can also soak soup mix over night..... mmmmmm mine go nuts for soaked soup mix. Just keep on trying and one day they WILL eat their vegies :sad: Edited June 16, 200817 yr by **Liv**

Please heed advice and use proper english 4. Internet Text Shortcuts (or slang). (What is meant by this: Enuf, luv, thanks, woz, plz, phun and so on.) There are many, many people of all ages and languages that frequently visit this forum. English is hard enough for some people when it is their native language. There are people that post here that English is a second or even third language. Not everyone knows what shortcuts mean. It is like slang - if you're not from that area you don't understand what is being said. We want this forum to be as friendly, fun, and informative for everyone as we can make it, and one way we do that is to not allow text shortcuts in posts. It is not difficult to type your responses using proper English. However, we do allow a select few of the very commonly known internet shortcuts which are listed right here: LOL (Laughing Out Loud), brb (be right back) and OMG (Oh My God). Members may only use these selected internet text shortcuts when it is appropriate. If you are found using text shortcuts in your posts and messages you will be contacted and asked to stop. If you fail to comply with our requests on this rule we will then take appropriate administrative action against your account. 7. Obeying Board Staff. If a member of the board staff does ask you do perform a task for what ever reason on the boards, you are to comply with the request. If no appropriate action is taken within a reasonable amount of time, staff have the right to warn, suspend, remove posting rights and even ban members in the worst cases. It must be stressed that this does not happen frequently, but it will be only used as a last resort if absolutely needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Edited June 17, 200817 yr by KAZ
June 16, 200817 yr she dont feed them veggies thats why i am finding it so hard to get George and Bailey to eat them Lumina does and Sky i still wont try yet They all need more than just seed to breed properly. your friends birds probably have a vitamin deficiency and would cause the egg tossing behavior - are they eating the eggs too???

Just keep on trying and one day they WILL eat their vegies :sad: she ate the eggs Bailey and George eat tiny bits of cooked sweetcorn and they eat orange and Lumina eats any thing you put in her sight egg eating is a vitamin deficiency. She needs to stop her birds from breeding immediately as its just creating stress and compounding the vitamin deficiency further. At this point I feel they need a boost of vitamins on top of a good diet of fresh foods. Your friend needs to give a water soluble vitamin supplement (according to the directions on the bottle) and fresh foods (if the supplement allows it) Edited June 17, 200817 yr by KAZ
