i just got a rare parakeet. "she" just joined my Blue parakeet BB. I was just wondering if it were possible for both of them 2 have a baby?

So just making sure that Parakeet means budgie...if this is correct...yes they will mate if they have a nesting box and everything is to their liking you should see the patter of tiny wing friends...but introduce slowing just in case it isnt love a t first sight....Budgerigars have a coloured area above their beaks, called a cere. In males the cere is coloured light to dark blue. A male bird in breeding condition will have a deep blue cere in most varieties. He won't have any pin feathers, and his plumage will be smooth. Females have brown ceres. Hens that are ready to lay eggs have fairly rough ceres that are a dark brown, chocolate colour. In fact, the darker they are the better.
At the moment I'm breeding a blue opaline with a texas budgie...and they have 2 eggs and I only set them up 1 week ago so I guess it doesn't take long for love to kick in LOL...will let you know when the babies hatch...hope this helps
