Hi everyone. I have a pretty simple problem but I'm wondering if I really should do anything or just let them go. My 10 month old male is trying to mate with my 6 month old female and obviously this is a problem. They don't have a nest box or anything but obviously being budgies I know they just can't help themselves. If it likely she'll start laying without a suitable place or not really?

I prefer to wait until 10 months of age before breeding a hen so I would seperate them. I would be worried about her laying eggs on the floor because at that age she may get egg bound.
