Cage

[cherokee]

With me using a cage like this, and there being a divider seperating the 4 budgies, will Passion & Loverboy still breed, or do I need to put them in a seperate cage and put them in another room? Or take Casper & Jasper out and put them in another cage and remove the divider, any suggestions would be helpful.
Again here is a picture of the cage.

Cages like this are meant for breeding. I think having the nest box in the side that's breeding (like you have set up) is the way to go. They know that the others can't intrude with the divider there. You can always try the separate cage later if you need to.

Ok thanks, I think Passion is going out of breeding season, but unsurem can anyone tell me by looking at her cere? And if she is going out of season, should I remove the nesting box?

It's hard to tell if she's going out of breeding season since I am not sure how dark or light her cere usually is in comparison. Anyone have an idea?

That is way too small to breed in with the divider.
Budgies need to be able to flap their wings for exercise. I use a cage that size with out the divider to breed only for one pair.

Give the other two budgies their own cage the same size.

I find using separate breeding cages much better as I am able to keep an accurate record of all budgies born to what pair and if any problems arise I just have to check records.

I have removed the divider and put the other 2 in a seperate cage, passion was going out of season, her cere is now beige and casper is goin back into season, so i put Passion with Jasper and I now have Casper in the breeding cage with Loverboy
