Between career and hobby, we budgie keepers are often caught up in the busyness of life and have no time to guard our colorful feathered friends at all times. In order to prevent these bright creatures from being immersed in the shadow of loneliness and loneliness, many bird lovers will choose to buy a pair of budgies to keep them company and keep each other warm. Even in our daily absence, they can be with each other and no longer feel the emptiness.

When a male and a female budgies are content in the cage and years pass by to adulthood, The instinct to reproduce will naturally emerge. In this process, the role of the breeding box becomes crucial. So, how do we carefully prepare a suitable breeding place for these colorful creatures?

We must ensure that the size of the breeding box can meet the space requirements of the budgerigar breeding. Ideally, the breeding box we choose should be somewhat spacious rather than narrow. Although a larger breeding box may not have a significant impact on the breeding activities of parrots, a space that is too small may hinder the incubation process of the female bird. Even when the chicks hatch out of the shell and gradually grow up, the narrow space may cause They are squeezed hard and have difficulty growing healthily. These half-fledged chicks should not be put at risk of falling out of the breeding box due to space constraints before they are ready to leave the nest.

The material of the breeding box must be hard and durable. The wooden breeding box is particularly suitable, as it conforms to the budgie's habit of chewing. These lively little creatures like to use the breeding box to sharpen their beaks. Especially during the breeding season, female budgies tend to nibble on their breeding boxes to relieve their nervousness during egg laying.

Generally, pine propagation boxes are stronger, while other types of wood may be slightly more fragile. Therefore, when purchasing a breeding box, we should give priority to one made of pine wood to ensure durability and safety.

Pay special attention to the environment inside the breeding box. We must ensure that there are no foreign objects or pungent odors left inside the box. Because many breeding boxes on the market may use adhesives during the production process, and cheap glues often contain highly toxic substances, which may have adverse effects on both adult and young budgerigars, and even endanger their health. life.

When purchasing a breeding box, be sure to pay attention to whether there are foreign objects or harmful gases remaining in the box. If problems are found, we need to thoroughly disinfect the breeding box by scalding it with hot water and exposing it to sunlight to ensure the health and safety of our feathered friends.
