: : : : Ok, I've got a few questions.
: : : : 1. what should a parakeet nesting box be made of?
: : : : 2. what should a parakeet nesting have in it?
: : : : 3. how can you tell when a parakeet is pregnant?
: : : : 4. do parakeets lay unfertilized eggs?
: : : : Thanks for all your help! ^^

: : : Keet nest boxes generally are made of wood.  I've seen them made of metal with a wood base inside.


: : : Keets don't weave nests like many birds.  Adding a handful of sawdust, pine shavings, or cedar shavings to the nest box will help to keep it clean.

: : : The female keet won't appear pregnant.  Before laying eggs, the hen will start to stay inside the nest box.

: : : Yes, even when with a mate, eggs might not be fertile.  If a male is not present, a hen can still lay eggs.  These, of course, will never be fertile.

: : I don't know how I found this site but thank God I did.  My keets had been behaving like lovebirds had nothing on them.  It appeared they were "kissing". The sat by each other or accross from each other all the time.  I never observed any specific behavior that would indicate eggs.  She suddendly changed her attitude and began to bite at him.   What do I do now?????  I separated them for the moment and I'm ready to find a nesting box, but at what point does he have to be back in there with her in case she does lay eggs.  I don't know enough to be in this position, but I would love it if I was going to be a grandmother again.  PS  We had the female for a year and a half.  Just this summer got the male.  HELP PLEASE
