What happens when male and female parakeets mate?

Answer 1

They need a nesting box on the side of the cage where they have privacy. If conditions aren't "just right", parakeets do not seem to breed in captivitiy. You may need to contact a professional or possibly even consult with a book on the subject. ----------- I've never had a problem breeding parakeets in captivity! You have not properly set the birds up for breeding OR they may not like each other! If they mutually groom each other and play together, then that is probably not the problem. To properly set up a pair of parakeets for breeding, you need two healthy birds and you need to be certain you have a male and female. They breed mostly in spring or early summer. The longer daylight hours and presence of lots of fresh foods (fruits, veggies, greeny leafy foods, bird-safe people foods) indicate to them that there will be sufficient food to feed their young. They also need a stable routine, being provided food and water at the same time every day, and a bit of privacy. Once they have been properly set up, introduce the nest box. The male will, after checking it out for a day or a few days, go inside and, if he approves, come out and let her go in. After that, they will mate. Visit Eliteparrotsclub.com for more information!

Answer 2

leave your parakeets alone for about 1 month and they will mate. mine mated like 2 weeks ago and she still didn't lay her eggs yet Get a nesting box from pet store, use lots of sunshine light, and they will do it! Yes! put box inside their cage for easy access!

Answer 3

That means they want attention and their not necessarily mating they are interacting with each other.

Hope I helped:D

In response to the first answer...Not at all. One of the males is ready and wants to breed. Since you don't have a female, the dominant male uses the other male for his purpose. (retired breeder) I would suggest that if you don't want this to continue, put each in a separate cage, but still close to the other.

Answer 4

It doesn't.

Parakeets are birds. They do not get pregnant, as reproduction is done through the laying of eggs. The eggs take about three weeks to form properly in the body, but this is not called "pregnancy". They look the same when they are laying eggs as when they aren't. In other words, birds don't "hold" their eggs inside their bodies and show a big belly to indicate that eggs are on the way. The egg shell is the last thing that develops right before the egg is laid, therefore, a hen doesn't "show" in the sense that human women "show" when they are pregnant.

Answer 5

Using their cloacas.

The get on top of each other and the male deposits sperm into the females cloaca.

Answer 6

Parakeets and lovebirds all mate exactly the same way as all other birds - by "cloacal kiss".
