Can a LoveBird Breed with a Budgie ?! | * Is it gonna Work ? *

Hello guys! In today's video we are gonna find out if it's possible to breed a lovebird with a budgie. Can they live together? Can they make eggs and chicks? I spent last 9 months observing all their behaviors and in today's video I'm gonna share my experience with you. I got to the point where Loki the lovebird made 4 beautiful eggs. Today we are gonna find out if eggs are fertile and can we expect some mutant chicks from them. WARNING! I don't recommend to keep the birds together. This is extremely dangerous for the budgies. The lovebird and budgie are two different bird species. Lovebird is the common name for the genus Agapornis. They are social and affectionate. The name comes from the parrot's strong monogamous pair bonding and the long periods which paired birds spend sitting together. Lovebirds live in small flocks and eat fruits, vegetables, grasses and seeds. They are native for African continent. Budgies are found wild throughout the drier parts of Australia, where they have survived harsh inland conditions for over 5 million years. Budgies are popular pets around the world due to their small size, low cost and ability to mimic human speech. They are the third most popular pet in the world after the domesticated dog and cat. So what happens when you try to put them together? Is it gonna work? Well, in the first month we were very careful because lovebird is territorial and aggressive. So we put budgie in the different cage. After they got used to each other, budgie successfully moved to the Loki's house. Loki used to attack his feet a lot, but we managed to shut off this instinct by screaming on her every time that she attempted to attack budgie. Long story short, after budgie got to his maturity period, we noticed that Loki was bringing pieces of paper in her cage. So we decided to give it a try and we bought a house nest for them. For more than one month, Loki was extremely dedicated and was working all day long to bring paper in her nest. She quickly evolved in a professional paper shredder. Everything that she could find from paper, she would destroy it in small pieces and bringing them in her nest. It felt like she couldn't stop. In this period, budgie attempted to ride her, but unsuccessfully. We never really saw a successful ride. Every time Loki could not understand what budgie wants from her and she was defending herself by attacking him. All this cycle repeated for a lot of weeks. I lost my hope and I decided to remove their house. But I was impressed but what have I found there? I put their house back and started to hope for the better. After a few days she laid one more egg and so on till she successfully laid 4 beautiful eggs. The only evidence that I could find on internet about successful breeding of lovebird and budgie was long time ago. The chicks successfully left the nest, but there are not photos with confirmation. Also, the important criteria was that the lovebird is a male and budgie female, which is opposite in our case. And now is the moment of truth. We are gonna find out if they are fertile and should we expect chicks. Right now we are gonna find out if the eggs are fertile. For the evidence, you are now will see how the fertile eggs should look like. And now it's time. Loki, why are you so aggressive? Loki, you scared the ---- out of me. Go, go, go, go, go. Go away. Hi, go away. Please. Hi, I need to get your egg. Okay? Please. Can you please give me an egg? Okay. Go, go, go. Okay. Like this. Okay. So, as you can see, the egg. Loki has been sitting on the eggs for about 4 weeks. As you can see, the eggs are not fertile. Unfortunately. Sorry, Loki. Sorry. You are not gonna have kids. And you, budgie. Well, I'm not surprised. I knew that Loki cheated on budgie. Her eggs are from her first love. Yes, this toy was so nice for Loki that she thought that this is her partner. Which is kinda sad, especially for budgie. She never really liked the budgie. He was like a pet for her, even though he tried his best. I did this experiment just because of my curiosity. But now I'm happy that I can prevent you from trying that. It's not okay to put two different bird species together. Everyone deserves to be with partners of their species. Loki didn't really felt lonely because we loved her. And she could have fun with budgie. In other way, for budgie, this experience was interesting and extremely difficult. He grew up a very strong and beautiful bird. Now he learned all the lovebird spectrum of sounds, which makes him very unique bird. Also if he could survive and defeat himself from a very strong and aggressive lovebird, he is the man now, with fearless character. As the result of this experiment, we learned a lot. First of all is that everyone deserves a pair from their species. That's why we are gonna give budgie away to a family who has budgies. For Loki, we are thinking to buy a new member of our family. A young male lovebird. I think that this is gonna open doors for a lot of new opportunities. Especially for training him properly and to fix all the mistakes that I have done with Loki. Also for her, it will be very nice to have a partner that she deserve. Loki really proved that she is gonna be the best mother in the world, which I'm excited to see that. What do you think about that? Also we need your help with the color. I was thinking to buy a blue-black masked fisher lovebird. But I'm curious what is your opinion about that. Please let me know in the comments. I really hope that you learned something new. As always, if you enjoyed this video, that means that you are a really good person. Because you like birds.
