How To Care For Parakeet Eggs. To provide the best care possible for the eggs of your parakeet you should buy a nesting box preferably made out of wood that is lined with wood shavings or natural nesting. Place the cage out of direct sunlight and make sure indoor temperatures dont go over 80F 27C.
Bourkes parrots are fed in the plains and fields in the wild. During this time normally early spring it is important to make sure the pair are healthy. The average clutch size is 4 to 7 eggs and in many cases the female wont lay eggs in the absence of a mate.
When the chicks are about 10 days old they start to open their eyes.
You should discard the egg in case you only have one parakeet as an egg needs to be fertilized by males in order to hatch properly. Eggs are rounded and white. Keep the nest at the proper humidity and temperature. Never use a bird cage that shows chipped bars or rust.
