Cleaned out the aviaries on Saturday and found Cheeky has an egg. I will take it out soon though because I don't think its fertile. Thought I would show you anyway though :p

Budgie eggs are about the size of a cadbury mini egg(if you know what they are) if not about the size of a Canadian penny. Very very small

Do you want them to lay eggs or no? Removing it will make her lay more to replace it. She'll be laying more then one anyway but either way, you shouldn't take that one away.

Sammy, one of my budgies has currently got 3 eggs so I will take a picture for you.

I would like them to breed, but I'm not going to force them to do anything. It is basically their choice. The reason I was going to remove the egg was because it seemed like she had deserted it, but when I checked this morning she was carefully guarding it, so I have decided to leave it in. There is a chance that there will be another egg today.


Thanks for the comments everyone, I appreciate them a lot

I would say that budgie eggs are just over half as big as a 'tiel egg

Ooh, good luck. It would be so exciting if she were to sit on them. But if not, I enjoyed seeing that cute little egg! :D
