Any suggestions on how to nest parakeets. Eggs are always pecked open? 1 female, 2 males in the cage.?

Answer 1

Males can't be around nests during incubation, not even in a nearby cage. Keep music and noises reduced during nesting. Darken the actual nest area with a 24/7 partial draping of the cage. Sometimes, just that partial draping is the trick. Never touch, but start cooing to the eggs and hatchlings everyday, like deep baby talk, so that they know you and bond quickly later on with people. Your attention to the eggs will sometimes make the eggs more "sacred" to the adult birds and they'll respect them. It can even be a female damaging the eggs if she's neurotic. Try tranquility music and tranquility waterfalls within hearing of the cage.

Answer 2

chook eggs won't hatch in a cage. in case you decide on the eggs to hatch, you're able to connect a nesting container to the cage the place the female can lay her eggs and function privateness. extra suitable yet as quickly as she is pregnant do away with the two adult males, yet she would be able to stilll choose the nesting container. bypass to the library and get a e book on breeding birds. The puppy save vendors are constantly prepared to offer unfastened suggestions too. stable success!

Answer 3

I would get another cage and put one male in the cage with the female for awhile until you observe either an egg or them mating. Then remove both males and put them in the other cage. I would bet it's one of the males who's doing it.

Answer 4

One of the males is doing it to protect his breeding "rights". I strongly urge you to separate the males- separate rooms, even- until the chicks are almost fledged. The extra male is not just pecking the eggs, he is also disrupting the breeding of the other birds, probably even causing fights.
