I have 2 pair of English Budgies set up in spacious breeding cages that are currently stacked with wooden nest boxes. They are in a South facing room with a window. The bottom cage is darker because it is below the other one. Would it be better if I added some plant grow full spectrum lights on timers?
Also, I read in a parakeet breeding book that it is better to have at least 3 pairs of breeders to stimulate breeding activity. Do I need get another pair? And that it would be better to put them all in one larger flight cage with 1 more nest box than pairs, suggested for the novice breeder, especially. Is it far more difficult to pair breed them individually?
Many years ago I had 2o pairs of parakeets on a porch in a screened in aviary and there were lots of babies, however this time around I choose to do English Budgies and be more selective. I am feeding them veges & greens 3 times weekly along with a quality mixed seed & pellet diet.
I would greatly appreciate any tips on helping these birds along in their process.
