My male bird is mating with the female's wing. Is this normal?

Males can help sit on the eggs, or may offer food/support to the female so that she can still be fed and active. This is very normal behavior, and as long as both are taking care of themselves and the eggs and do not seem stressed out, I would not be worried. If the male is harassing the female to the point that she seems stressed, or can't get food or water, then separating the two for a time may be best.

A pair does not always result in a mating unfortunately. It may take more time for them to bond and court. If it isn't mating season, nothing will get them together. Be patient, continue to care for them and in the future they may mate. It is always recommended to have any new pet examined by a veterinarian to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre-existing conditions.

It is not recommended to breed your budgie too soon after having a clutch because this can deplete her calcium reserves. Separating her from the male would be the best way to prevent further breeding. If she has already mated with the male, adding a calcium supplement to her food or water may help her to restore her calcium levels.

It isn't common, but it can happen. If it happens again, ignore the behavior or gently distract him with a toy or piece of food. Avoid petting or scratching his back or under the wings and do not "beak wrestle" with him. These are all courting behaviors.

Thanks for reaching out about Bird. Not all birds get along. Maybe the male wants to breed and the female doesn't. There should be adequate perches and hiding areas, to get away, to lessen stress. Good luck.

Parakeets don't usually try to mate with things other than other parakeets, however if he is doing this behavior with you it is best to just put him back in the cage and let him go about his business until he has calmed down. You can still interact with him by offering treats or having him sit on a perch instead of your hand if the behavior continues. If they're both males (which is always possible) it may be they aren't interested in the nest. You can try adding some items to it to make it more interesting, or offer some nest building material (most pet stores will carry this) to see if it encourages nest building. Be sure not to place yarn or other strings as feet and beaks may get caught on that and cause injury.

She shouldn't be bred until she is at least 10-12 months of age. If the male is younger than that, then she certainly is not ready to mate and should not be forced. This will result in stress and possibly the loss of eggs or chicks. Separate them to give her a break from his advances until she is old enough to mate.
