I don't know what to do! I really want to breed my budgies but no matter what I try they won't! I tried giving them a nesting box, they won't go near it! I tried homemade egg food but they wouldn't eat. I tried fruits and veggies but all they eat is apple!!! Any other ideas? I really want to have babies. If there are 5 or under eggs I'll keep all the babies and the parents (all in the same cage)
But please help I really want to see the process and have some babies

Okay Fayth, I am happy to help you, but you need to not post non emergency questions with titles like "Please Help!" because we all think that your birds are dying or something.
The key to breeding is simple: Time. It will take at least a month for a bird to start exploring a nest box in the majority of cases, and it may take longer for them to show real interest in breeding. These three tips will help: Food with protein, long hours of light (keep the lights on for at least 14 hours a day) and wait.

As I said before use this time to read up on breeding them. You can never have to much information. An increase in a flock of 5 is a lot. Good luck, have fun and learn all you can.
