We will see what happened. She laid the eggs at the beginning of April. I think that they both fed the babies so at least it was just one person
They like sleeping in the nest box at night so idk if I should take it out to make them wait to lay eggs. I live in California
I love in Maine now but lived in the LA area for 26 years (1991 to 2017).We will see what happened. She laid the eggs at the beginning of April. I think that they both fed the babies so at least it was just one person
I live in Eureka, CA it’s about 10 hours north of LA. This is their first clutch of eggs. I got the nest box at the end of January.
How soon after toy gave them their box did they start to exhibit breeding behavior?
I have a female English Budgie (a retired show bird) that was bred too much before I got her. Not knowing this, I tried to breed her. She and one of my males got along great so I set them up in a spacious cage with a nest box. Right after she laid her third egg she had trouble walking. I thought she was egg bound and took her to an avian vet who examined and x-rayed her. By this time she couldn't walk. She was not egg bound but he told me that when a hen lays eggs her pelvic bones temporarily spread to allow the eggs to pass out her but Lilibelle's pelvic bones were not "bouncing back" into position after and were pinching the nerves in her pelvis that supplied her legs. He wasn't sure if she would recover the use of her legs. I brought her home and kept her in a padded cage with very low perches and over a few weeks she did recover but I cannot risk her health by trying to breed her again. He told me she also had osteoporosis from being bred too much and changing her diet at this point wouldn't reverse it. About six months after she recovered she fell out the cage door a couple feet to the floor when I was cleaning her cage and she fractured her femur! She was not wing clipped. Her bones are just very fragile. I kept her in the padded cage with low perches and she recovered from her fractured leg. I am very careful when I open her cage door to make sure she stays calm and doesn't get out and get injured again. She is doing very well now. She eats well and isn't in any distress.
I did get one baby bird, Rocky, from Lilibelle before she was retired from breeding, but I had to incubate the egg and raise baby Rocky myself. It was either try or throw out her fertile eggs.
Probably almost two months after I got the box. Since they started laying at the beginning of April. They really like sleeping in the nest box. Maybe I can make something else for them to sleep in to give them a break. I know those snuggle things aren’t good for them.
Anything that is dark and enclosed will feel like an invitation to breed.
How are my GodBabyBirds doing? Are they flying yet? When
They have beautiful coloring. They might be more red than their parents after they molt. It’s so funny that baby sun conures look like jenday conures 
Why? They're beautiful tame babies! How much are charging?I’m having such a hard time finding homes for these babies
I’m charging $850. I bought each of the parents for $1,200 so I don’t think it’s very high. I know pet stores charge $1,600 for red factors. I think some pet stores charge about $1,000 for regular babies. I want to use the money to pay off my goats surgery bill
How do you find buyers? I would think they would sell fast in California. A lot of bird lovers there and they're perfect tame babies. You will find homes for them. Just enjoy them and keep them tame for now. Or keep them. They're your babies!I’m charging $850. I bought each of the parents for $1,200 so I don’t think it’s very high.

I put them on Craigslist and on birdsnow. I’ve had a lot of people message me but no one comes through. They are super cute and sweet.
