Answers:
yeah it's ok...did it with mine and that didn't change anything. They had lots of eggs..but I would suggest once she lays the eggs to take him out.
psht...hell no...lol...erm...i really dont think they should be in the same age i mean god knows what will happen to the male...ferocious female...lol...jk...u shouldnt keep it in the same cage.try it for a little while and see if they cooperate..if they dont.well then dont...
well you shouldnt b/c the female might hurt the male, and if they do mate how are you going to help the baby you have to think before you do this,trust me i breeded birds once and the baby bird will drive you nuts will the chirping. my advice is dont breed them and keep them apart
We have quakers and conures now but we had parakeets when I was younger. You know that when you put the two together, that the one who is tame, probably won't be anymore. Since your putting two of the same species and different sex together, they will most likley develop a bond with each other, and not want to bond with you. We have a quaker and a sunday conure in a cage together. We introduced them the same way that we did our parakeets. We started with setting the cages near each other, because birds are territorial and sometimes can be nasty over space. Then we would take out the birds together and set them on a playgym, somewhere neutral, to check each other out and play. If you can't do that with your untame bird, try taking out your tame male, and introducing him through the cage to the female. The parakeets i've had in the past, usually readily accept another of their kind (it was my bigger birds they didn't like!!) Before you breed them make sure you research into everything you need and need to look for to make sure they are healthy ( your female will need extra calcium for egg-laying, look up egg-binding, just so that you know what to do when they start breeding)!! Good luck!!
The only way to find out if the older keet will accept the new keet is to put them together. Just do not leave them alone and you must watch them. If they attack and fight each other then you must separate them or they will be hurt. If they appear to like each other then things are ok. You will know.
Other things to consider is the age of the new keet and are you certain it is a female?
Baby keets are much too young to breed.
It is very difficult to determine if a keet is male or female when they are young. In the older keets, the cere (the area above the beak) will be a definite blue in the male and in females it will be more of a sand to lilac color.
If they do breed and lay eggs please do not remove the male. The male keet helps with the feeding of the female and the babies.
