How long does it take a parakeet to lay eggs?

In: Care of Birds, Parrots, Parakeets (Budgerigars) [Edit categories]

Answer:

Normally it take between 5-10 days for the first egg to be laid,
you must have a Nesting box ready DO NOT put in any nesting material as budgies will not lay until the box has been cleared out, all they require in their box is a concave any good pet store will sell these and will explain it's use.

You also need to be feeding green veg , such as broccoli, kale , spinach and little pieces of Apple , or Pear. do not forget the Cuttle bone,

Then leave them to get on with it if it is their first nest Do Not be too keen to look in the box till after you think they have laid then leave them alone
