Breeding canaries
My budgies have been living together for 4 years, but they have not produced a single offspring. Maybe they don’t like something or they need to build a small house to shelter the nest. And in general, how often do they give birth?

So budgies or canaries? For breeding, parrots require a nest box like a birdhouse, and canaries need a round nest. Wavy birds can give birth several times a year (eggs incubate for 17 days), but they must be given rest, because laying eggs, incubating and feeding offspring takes a lot of energy from the birds: they need to recover.
What color are your parrots?
I also don’t understand what kind of birds the author is asking about) But regardless of whether there are wavy birds or canaries, I will say that you need to think VERY carefully before you try to breed ornamental birds, especially such small things. These are also living beings, not toys. If you want to breed them for sale, then before doing so it is best to monitor the demand for these birds in your region, otherwise you will breed them, and then where? Outside? Or will you keep everyone at your place?
We had budgies, but they didn’t breed either, but now Amadins have been living for almost a year. They came to us by accident, a female flew into my wife’s room at work, and we bought a male at the market. In this species of bird it is very easy to distinguish a female from a male. We are not going to breed birds yet, but Amadinka has already laid five or six eggs.If we had built a house for them, we would have had chicks a long time ago.
In parrots, the reproductive instinct is activated when a nesting house is placed in a cage. But think seriously: do you need chicks? I once owned a flock of parrots of 55 heads. And all because there was nowhere to place the chicks.
