Can you Breed with one male and one female budgie and if so how?

Im just wondering because I have 2.
Answers:
Well if the chemistry is right between them they will. Often people have a couple and nothing happens. Nesting materials are a stimulus for breeding. Just watch them, you will notice their ceres (nostrils) deepen in colour and the male will be very attentive to the female with lots of feeding and courtship behaviour so you will know they are in breeding mode. Have a nest box available for them and see what happens. If there is plenty of mating there will be eggs. Good luck.

you need a male, a female, that are over 1 year old, provide plenty of green vegetables and cuttle bone, and of course a nest box. put them somewhere where they wont be disturbed, clean food and fresh water should always be available and besides some nesting material (newspaper etc...) you are all set.hopefully before you try to breed your birds you have an available vet should there be any complications and be ready to hand feed if you have too because the the parents dont always know how. make sure you know what you are doing before you try hand feeding or have an experienced person willing to hand feed just in case.

It's not about taking two birds and just breeding them, it's about the genetic blood lines, and high quality birds. Keeping a certain genetic blood line alive.
It's also governement law to band the babies.
Before you decide to breed your pair, ask youself a few questions:
Are they of quality to breed?
Is the cage big enough to fledge 7 full grown keets?
Do you have the money for an emergency vet visit?
Do you know how to hand feed?
Do you have a heat source like a brooder?
Are you prepared for death?
This is just a few questions to ask yourself that will prepare you for what to expect. It's just not as simple as putting a box on and two birds breeding. Splay leg, death and other things happen. Please take the time and read this board to some of the emergency questions that pop up to other readers. Some have had nightmares happen, all because they were not prepared.
Good Luck with your decision!
