My budgie laid an egg !

More "shocking" news of my budgerigar parakeets!

I did some research on budgie breeding, and I thought they wouldn't have laid any egg for at least another ten days after I caught them mating on camera. Guess I was so wrong (perhaps they started mating way earlier than I first caught them doing it).

Just yesterday the female spent most of her time inside the little birdie house (the nest) in the cage. This morning (1/29/2014) I went to check on them and an egg was already there inside the entrance of the nest.

Check out the following photos.

Photo #1 - You can see the budgie egg right inside the nest entrance.



Photo #2 - A closer look at the budgie egg from outside the nest entrance. You can also see the tail feather of the female budgie who was inside the nest at the time.



Photo #3 - The female budgie is looking at her first egg.


From what I have heard, there will be one new egg every 2 days or so. Lets see how many eggs my budgie will lay. Hopefully they are all fertile.
