[Tiki<3Polly]

well i don't know yet but i might. my last time....everyone knows that my female became eggbound and she died. I feel that if i try breeding my female with google (my new bird who is only 2 months) in 1 or 2 years. I am VERY scared though. I dont know where an avian vet is in my area, and i cant have one because i am only 11 and my parents wouldnt let me call or take them to s/he:( Can anyone tell me if there first clutch didnt work out because the female died? .......Well i am crying because this website brings me back memeries of Polly ....RIP POLLY !!! The thing is that now i cant breed mika and googles because googles isnt old enough........does it matter if the female is older than the male?????? next summer i am going to poland so idk

Awww sweety! I know it's hard to lose a budgie..believe me! They have such an impact on us..

As far as breeding goes, you are correct in saying that Google is not old enough yet and the fact that you are going to wait is certainly a good thing! And no, it doesn't matter that the female budgie is older than the male...however, you also don't want to try breeding a female that is too old. I don't think you'd want to breed a budgie that is older than 4 at the most...I could be wrong on that age..can anyone confirm that?

I would suggest that you get your little girlie budgie eating cuttle bone or some other sources of calcium (like crushed up egg shells) as that is a much needed mineral for her to be able to successfully lay eggs. The sooner you provide that for her, the better. She needs to maintain a high level of calcium in her body for the eggs to form properly and to be able to pass through her vent when she is ready to lay.

And remember, don't breed unless and until you are ready (well, of course your budgies would need to be ready too!!! But that goes without saying!!). If the stress is too great, then I wouldn't put myself through trying to breed them as it is a lot of responsibility to breed.

Thanks Budgiekin...My female is going to be one year old on September 14th...She is a clearwing. Googles will be a year old May 20th. In their cage i have a mineral/iodine block, a cuttlebone, millet spray , lots og toys, perches etc. today a boiled an egg for them and mashed it up with the eggshell...i might breed my keets on spring break next year but not sure cuz i will have to go to school after one week. i might do it next summer wich i think i will but....i am going to poland for over a month :mad: i hope i helped anyone to answer my question.
