Re: ringneck breeding

Hey Jaydedahl, I've had some of the same trouble when I first got my pair, they pecked each other quite a bit at first. My cage was split horizontally at first, as he was a baby, as he got older he would nip her feet thru the cage and she would aim and poo on him (was actually funny sometimes) i eve...
