Question

How do I know if my two budgies are right for each other and they will mate?

Answer 1

You need to know if they are male and female. Do you know if they are indeed a pair? To check, look at the raised area at the top of their beaks. It is called the ceres. In a male, it is blue, or at least a shade of blue. In a female, it is brownish. Then, even if they are male and female, they have to be mature birds. If they are too young, you will have to wait until they are a little older for them to mate. If they are a young pair, that is OK. They will bond with each other and eventually mate.
