Is biting objects in the cage (especially wood) a sign that my female budgie wants to mate?
What are some signs that my budgies are ready to mate? They have already formed a strong bond with one another, and my male has started to regurgitate food for the female. And if I am correct, other signs are the cere of the female becoming brown and crusty looking, and the female inspecting the nest box. I also noticed that my female has been biting things a lot. She bites the cage bars, the wooden ladder, her toys, and metal parts of my computer desk. Is that another sign, because she hasn't really bit things before.
Yes, I do have a nest box in the cage, and all 3 of my budgies are healthy and happy.
There are several very important factors that one must take into account when breeding budgies:
1. Budgies only come into breeding condition certain times of the year. This seems to coincide with the Australian spring/summer--which is our late Fall/winter. Budgies are not fertile year round. They will only breed when they are in breeding condition. In order to determine whether your birds have come into breeding condition, you must observe your birds. Signs of being ready to breed include: ripping-up newspaper, birds mutually feeding each other, males trying to click their beaks to the females, or tapping their beaks on the perches. The male's cere--the band above the beak--will be a bright blue. The female's cere will be a dark brown. These colors are hard to distinguish in some color mutations. The birds will be extremely active and the female will call to her mate. Both birds, male and female, must be in breeding condition for any action to take place--this can be very frustrating for the birds and for the breeder.
2. Budgies must have at least 13 hours of lighting to trigger them to come into breeding condition. To make them think that it is nearing breeding time, lighting should be gradually increased over a period of weeks. I have been using full spectrum lighting. These lights are inexpensive and can be purchased at your local Wal-Mart. They come in an orange package that says "Sunshine, Full Spectrum Light ". I have 2, four foot "shop" lights hanging from the ceiling. I have them set on timers so that the lighting routine remains constant. There should also be at least one night light, so birds can get back to their nest boxes if they are startled during the night.
3. Budgies are flock birds. A single pair will not normally take-up breeding unless they can hear other budgies around them. They need to be encouraged by the group! The pair must also have a nest box provided for them. In the wilds of Australia, budgies nest in tree hollows. They really prefer the privacy of their own separate breeding cage. If you decide to pair up two birds in a breeding cage, give them at least three weeks to settle in and start breeding. They still need to be able to hear other birds nearby. By the way, you are unlikely to actually see them mate. Maybe they are just shy, but they usually mate very early in the morning.
4. Birds should be at least 10 months old, preferably one year old, before they are considered for breeding.
