how do you now if a parakeet is pregnet

emergency

here is some infor that may help:

Can I tell if the female is pregnant? How long before they lay an egg when they have one inside?

It takes about 2 days for an egg to form, travel down the cloaca and come out. You can't tell the female is pregnant - she will not look swollen. You might be able to tell when she's about to lay one because maybe you'll see her straining a bit at the bottom of the cage. If you see your budgie straining for a few hours, your parakeet could be suffering from a potentially-fatal condition known as egg-binding, where the egg will not come out. If you see this, you can try to dab some warm olive oil around the opening, but if this does not help her, get her to a veterinarian pronto! This is an emergency situation and your keet can die if this is not treated quickly enough!

[back] I want to put a nesting box in the cage, but the birds flip out whenever I try. What do I do?

Birds flip out when you put new stuff in their cage because they are scared of it. I've had pretty good success with putting something in the cage really slowly. Once it's in, I will tie millet spray with twist ties to it. They love millet sprays. it's a great parakeet treat. After a while they will explore the new thing only because they are dying to get to the treat. Leave it in the cage for a few days/weeks and they will get used to it.

If there isn't enough room inside the cage for a nesting box, you can get ones that mount on the outside of the cage.
