How to tell if a budgerigar is about to breed?

Budgies are ready for breeding if they have the following characteristics:

1. Emotional changes:

   - When a budgerigar begins to breed, its mood will change. They will become more excited, begin to display mating behaviors, and shouting and shaking their heads will become more common.

2. Pairing behavior: 

   - Budgies will show more pair-focused behaviors before breeding, including two birds showing their wings to each other, making gestures, pecking each other with their beaks, and starting frequent hugs, which are all signs of pairing. Manifestation of intention.

3. Changes in sleep time:

   - Before budgies start breeding, their sleep time will be significantly reduced, and they will be more active than usual and have difficulty falling asleep.

4. Dietary changes:

   - After budgies start to breed, their appetite may become more vigorous and they will frequently eat high-protein and high-nutritional food to meet the needs of the body during the breeding period.

It should be noted that even though a budgerigar displays the above behaviors, it cannot be completely determined that this parrot will breed. Therefore, before considering breeding parrots, you need to consider a series of factors and preparations, such as determining whether you have the necessary knowledge and skills, knowledge of the breeding environment, medical care, diet preparation, baby bird care, and many other aspects. If you are interested in breeding a budgie, it is strongly recommended that you seek the advice of a professional bird breeder or animal health practitioner before taking action.
