Hello everyone
I have had a small aviary for just over a year now, I have 6 budgies
3 girls and 3 boys, they have all paired up and I noticed a batch of 7 eggs laid
On the floor of the aviary, so I was advised to add some nest boxes, I added four
Nest boxes and 2 females went on there way and laid eggs, all seemed well and happy until I went into feed them and eggs from both boxes have been thrown out onto the floor, blood all over both nest boxes and one female budgie missing all feathers on her head, I’ve taken the nesting boxes out because I don’t want them fighting, I don’t intend to breed them and thought I was doing the right thing . My questions are will the females be stressed out now I’ve removed the nest boxes ? I guess they want to have babies and I don’t know if I’m doing right or wrong to be honest. Any advice or help would be appreciated
