Help on parakeets?

why everytime when I buy two different genders of parakeets they never have babies or nothing?
Answers:
They're either in poor breeding condition, which would make sense with some pet stores with shabby standards of care, and/or you're not giving them the proper breeding conditions.

In my opinion, if you're asking this question, you seriously should not try to breed them.
You need to put wine in their water dish and lower the lighting...put them in the mood.
i have two parekkets and they did not lay eggs and i had ,y parekkets for long! it is becasue you have to wait till it lays eggs you cant force it to lay the eggs! Do not keep on buying parekkets ors they will never lay eggs!

good luck!
Are you sure you are being sold two different genders?
If they are of different genders, the color surrounding the beak area will be lighter or darker depending on gender.
Sometimes people at the pet store do not know for sure either. Sorry i could not help more. Good luck...
Try putting a nesting box up for them and see then if they have babys.
if you've just gotten the birds they are probably too young. also they won't breed with each other just because they are opposite genders. perhaps they don't like eachother?

you shouldn't be breeding birds if you don't know what you're doing. there are too many homeless birds out there who need homes, we don't need to add to the problem.
they probably do not have the flourrcse in the female becuase that is what the male looks for.his came from a website.Why do the bird's breeding feathers flouresce? It's a sign of a healthy bird, that they have enough breeding feathers to absorb the ultraviolet rays, and also a sign of a healthy bird that they were out in the sun for a long while. Parakeets need lots of sunlight to absorb the vitamins from it.

Ms. Arnold's research therefore was to put sunblock on a bunch of parakeets, so their feathers did NOT flouresce. She found that parakeets of the opposite sex - potential mates - began ignoring the birds that had been sunblocked! So parakeets use that glow to help them determine which birds are suitable for dating. Other birds of the same sex stayed friendly, so it wasn't a "you are a bad parakeet" thing. It was a "you are not a suitable partner to raise kids with" thing.
you have to focus on their age range.

my parakeets didn't have babies after they were like 4 or 5 years old. It takes a while for them to bond completely and get used to the box. They dont know what its for at first because if you bought them at a store, all they did was play.

it takes time. make sure the nesting box is comfortable and see that they arent scared to have eggs because of their surroundings. sometimes birds dont lay eggs because they look outside their cage and see something dangerous or may be harmful to their babies, such as a dog or something. Provide them with good nesting material and put some treats in the box to lure them in. They'll eventually get used to it, but as i said, it does take a while.
