From my personal experience, it is actually not so easy to get parakeets to reproduce properly. My own budgies tried multiple batches of eggs without success. Not only it is said that young birds need to gain experience through trying before they can succeed, but any kind of sudden noises or changes in the environment can make them abandon their eggs or even the little chicks. On multiple occasions, my budgies pushed their own eggs and chicks out of the nest. I had to remove the bird nest from the cage after 4 failed tries if I remember correctly. Too bad, I would be very happy if even just one chick could grow up nicely.
So how many little birdies had the parakeets successfully raised in your story after the first one?
