To take a short break from the colour schemes, I will give you some other budgie facts:
The female budgie lays her eggs one at a time and this happens during a period of one to two days. The number of eggs varies between four and eight!
The first egg will generally hatch after eighteen days, and each chick will hatch in the order the eggs were laid. During the first few days, the mother budgie will spend all her time sitting on her baby budgies to keep them warm.
Can't wait to see that for myself ;-)

ReplyDeleteHi! I would say that 18 months is the minimum age for budgies to start a nest. You can often tell from their ceres; a male budgie's ceres will turn bright blue and a female budgie's ceres will turn deep brown. Hope that helps! Bika
DeleteSo, if your bird lays 8 eggs, you have a chance of ending up with 10 keets!
