If you search the Internet you'll find a number of web sites referring to budgie-nesting materials. The fact is that budgies don't use nesting material. Sure, you can crush a Eucalyptus leaf and put it in the nest-box once
week to control mites but, apart from that, your budgie needs nothing else.
Budgies in a tree making their nest
In the wild I have seen hundreds of budgie nests and have not seen a speck of nesting material in any of them. Wild budgies make their nests in the holes in the branches and trunks of Eucalyptus trees. If they have any
choice they always go for dead wood rather than live trees although sometimes I've seen them nesting in the exposed roots of living trees just above ground level. I think this is probably due to the lack of available dead trees or holes in the dead branches of living
trees. In short, if you see nesting materials for budgies advertised don't buy them.
