When I bought my budgies, I was planning on breeding them. It was the reason I got the little birdie house for them. Without the nest, they wouldn't breed at all. However, soon after I got them I realized the cock was just a baby because of his pink nose and strips on the head. The female was once in breeding mood a few months ago but the cock was too young to care. Now with the cock just matured a month ago, I did not expect them to start breeding so soon. I know many budgie keepers recommend not to breed them until they are one year old. At least the female is at least ten months old now, since it takes six months for a budgie to mature and I have got them 4 months ago. Hopefully the hen will be a responsible mother.
Breeding these budgies was just one of the two things I had in mind before I got them. I hoped to teach them to talk first (Yes, budgies can be trained to talk). Once again, I made a mistake. After I got them I had realized it was not possible to teach them to talk with two budgies in the same cage. With more than one budgie in the same cage, they bond with each other and rarely pay attention to the human owner. I should have got the male budgie first and teach him to talk, before get a female to breed with him.
This is a lesson to all pet keepers = It is a better idea to do the research before getting the pets.
