I have two budgies (they turned one year this april) and two sun conures (9 months) sharing a room. They have two separate cages, where they sleep at night but fly around freely during the day. I have a room full of toys, bird trees and nets with toys hanging under the ceiling.
Yesterday I found two cracked eggs on the floor under a tree.
I went to the store and got the nesting box, and put it inside the cage, but my budgies want nothing to do with it other than sitting on top of it. I put millet spray outside and inside, and pine shavings inside... I kept both budgies inside the cage yesterday, but they stay outside the box.
Is there anything else I need to do?
I want my birds to be happy:-)
PS they have cuttle bone and mineral block. And on Harrison's pellets and seeds. I have fresh fruits and veggies outside of the cage for them, but they wouldn't touch anything but seeds and pellets.
Also, do I keep them locked in their cage or let them fly? The current cage they have is 14x26x22.5.
Thank you for your help!
