please help i don't know what i need fo r breeding budgies but i know that.....
1. they need a quiet place to nest.
2. cutle bone for calcium
3. 4-10 days for mating after the cere turns crusty and brown.
4. looks like the male is kicking the female before they get ready to mate.
5.they need to eat soft foods when they are in breeding mode.
6. 1-6 eggs can be laid at a time.
7. 19 day incubationperiod for eggs until hatched.
8. 4-5 weeks till babies can leave the nest.
9. male should not be taken out of the cage because he needs to help feed mom.
10.handfeeding is something you have to do when babies need to be weened off of being fed from mom.

is this every thing i need to know for breeding budgies?

You only need to handfeed if the parents reject the chicks otherwise you dont need to do anything for them apart from clean the nest out.

I have sent you a private message. what is your msn messenger id and i will add you and chat there as its alot easier to explain if i dont have to do it in parts.
