Parakeet Breeding Question?
I have researched it and understand egg-binding, hand-feeding, and the rest of that stuff. I just got a mating buddy for Angel that’s a year old, and he mounts her from behind on her tail, then puts his leg on her as if he’s kicking her. She lets Angel get close, then kicks him off. Will she give in and let Angel mate her? I really need to know. I’m not treating her as a breeding machine, my friends’ parents’ say that they can have one if they do have babies, and they understand how to take care of them, so I have homes for them. Also, I’m only going to breed them once, maybe (which is most likely a no) twice. The female I named Sunbeam, is tamed, loves her head being scratched and everything. Will Sunbeam let Angel mate her? I understand the breeding and raising the chicks. So will she?

only Sunbeam knows the answer to your question. lol.
However, be sure that you are providing 12 or more hours of good light daily. Use a full-spectrum (UVA) lamp if you can get one. Provide a nesting site with box and some nesting materials, then maybe she will get in the mood.
Our courting budgies chewed a hole in the wall above the window valence, to make a nest. grrr
