What are some sure signs that a budgie is laying eggs?

Question

So after waiting for 13 months, I'm into breeding my budgies. I've seen them mate for every other day for the past 3 weeks. But the female budgie hasn't laid an egg yet. I already have cuttlebone and I feed them leafy vegetables. Can you please tell me some behavioral or physical signs of a female budgie that is laying eggs? Please...I'm already losing hope of breeding them.

Answer 1

When a bird is preparing to lay an egg:

-They will look for some sort of area to "nest" in. You should get a nesting box and fill it with some sort of shredding. Hamster sheddings is very good

-Allow the birds to see the nesting box, and if they like it and feel its a safe nesting place, the female will make a nest in the box, it will probably just be in a corner

-A bird will be at the bottom of the cage or in the nesting box when preparing to lay an egg, not sitting on a perch and letting the egg drop to the ground

This is what my cockatiel did when she was laying infertile eggs. Im not sure if its the exact same as a budgie would do, but I hope I was some sort of help :)

Answer 2

round white objects appear behind the budgie
