  1. your pictures are of 2 different birds.

    the gotpets picture is a nanday conure -

    other one is Not


  2. Conures and parakeets are NOT the same a conure is much bigger than a keet.  Also for her to have babies the bird needs a mate.  The only true way to figure out if it is a male or female conure is to have it surgically or DNA tested. (unless of course it lays an egg then well you know.)   If it is a parakeet then you may be able to tell by her cere which is above her beak.  It will change color when she is ready to mate.  check out www.birdbreeders.com for some of the prices breeders are charging for their birds it will give you an idea of how much they go for but do you know the full extent of what you are getting into if you do breed your bird?  The hand feeding and socialization are just a few things.

       You have two different types of Conures pictured one with the black head is a Nanday counure the other one is a green cheeked conure so it is NOT a parakeet.  Two different types of birds totally.  The bird would look like the parents so make sure you get the SAME type of bird not just a conure or you could run into major genetic difficulties.

  3. It seems you're taking the issue of breeding your bird lightly.  There are a lot of things you need to consider such as diet changes and a change in temperament.  If the bird is female you'll also need to get supplies like a nesting box, weening kits, ect.  If you are determined to breed your bird, however, the website below says you can get on average $200 - $400 per bird.

    The only way to determine whether a bird is female or male is to have it "sexed."  This generally requires a small drop of blood.  You can either buy a sexing kit online (see website address below) or you ask your vet to do it.

  4. Breeding is a very difficult and sometimes costly adventure.  If you don't know the answers too your questions, then maybe you should look into the prrospect and cost of breeding first?  If none survive, it doesn't matter how much they could have been worth....And you must have both parents, so you will find out how much the male will cost.  Don't count your chicks before they hatch...(So sorry.  I just could not resist!)

  5. $40 to 50$
