What age do you bred paralets?

Parakeets, also known as budgerigars, reach sexual maturity at around 6 to 9 months of age. However, it is generally recommended to wait until they are at least 1 year old before breeding them. This gives them sufficient time to fully develop and mature, reducing the risks associated with early breeding.

Before breeding parakeets, it is important to carefully consider factors such as the health and compatibility of the breeding pair, proper housing and nutrition, and the potential challenges of raising and caring for the offspring. Responsible breeding practices help ensure the well-being and welfare of the birds involved.
