Question
hi!
my female had baby bugies and now they are kids. i just found out that
females could get eggbound if laying too much. the male is still inside the
same cage with his family and i am scared she will lay more. i really dont
want to seperate the family but if i have to, i have too. i also saw the female
seed-feeding with the male again. what can i do too convince her not to lay
anymore instead of harming her eggs. do i have to seperate male from female
or is there another way.

Answer
Hi Katelyn,

You can simply take away the nesting box. But if she does already have eggs, then she will lay them on the bottom of the cage, if this happens let me know. But otherwise, the only thing you can really do is remove the nesting box.

I can answer many many questions on nesting, eggs, etcetera. Behavior, illnesses, diet, training and taming. There are some things I can't answer on illnesses but I do believe I can help with most of them. My strongest areas would be nesting, eggs and mating.

I breed budgies. Only budgies. And I have exprienced all of the things I wrote when you asked me what kinds of questions can you and can't you answer.
