Lots of Veggies, and patience! Is Crystals cere darker than ever? If so, you may have missed the peak of breeding. Good Luck and I hope you get some good results!

Maybe you should consider getting another female? It sounds as is Crystal just isn't interested!

They're probably just not ready. Believe me, you can't rush them. When they are ready, they will get to it. Try to leave them alone as much as possible. I know it is frustrating but there really is nothing you can to do get them going. Nature will take over when the time is right. Keep us posted. :-)

Well I just got another female very alert and healthy from my breeder a grey...I think i will put a few nest boxes up and put 3 females in with him he should choose one..:) But I know females could fight is this a good idea?

Sorry hun, I have been working my butt off so I haven't had time for any of my forums... (CRYING :crying2:) Anyway... I think you should try to keep the orginal pair togther. And you put a few females together things could get violent so becareful about that. Also budgie males have been known to be swingers. LOL He will tend to more than one female at a time. It is a rare case but it happens. Make sure all the nest are at the same level also this will keep fight to a minimum. But if the first female's cere is nice and toasty brown. She is in breeding mode again. Hopefully things will work out. OH important... Make sure your cage is big enough to handle all the keets you are putting in it. This will also keep fighting to a minimum...

Yeah I know...shes not being treated like the queen if she thinks she is going to...I guess when she sees teh other 2 girls start a family and she is in a cage by herself than maybe she would regret not wanting to have babies:p
