I am looking for parakeets and zebra finches,I must have them before I wanted two males and two females of both birds

Got a male and female parrakeet and looks like the female is getting a big butt. Is this indication that she is making eggs. What special care for nesting or treats if female is bulging and about to have eggs.

Looking at getting a budgie as a family pet

Perplexity, 14 March 2020

So uh,, this is my first time breeding budgies and if you're asking, yes ive got everything prepared. My only concern is if my male and female budgies are getting along, usually i see them squabblong or figgting whatever and other times i see them feedong eachother food and occasionally trying to mate (i say this because im not intirely sure that my male budgie knows how to 'mate' he just kinda taps her on the back). Anyway my hen has just layed two eggs at the moment, and is keeping them incubated, the only problem is that she wont let my male budgie get anywhere near the nesting box; which im assumping shes just overprotective, also im worried if she'll starve lookong after the eggs if she's not going to be able to eat at the same time. Um, is there anything i can do as such, because im just leaving them be right now.
