I have some questions about breeding Indian Ring necks. I have bought a 3 1\2 month old blue IRN called Taj that I will DNA test hopefully to become a male
. He was hand fed but not hand reared so he will sit on my shoulder but bites me and draws blood, I don't mind about this though I will just persevere as I think he is just scared and "hopefully" it will improve till at least he isn't scared of me. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could gain his trust? The hen I want to get is free and she is 3 1\2 months as well, and she has champion bloodlines. I have not met her but the man who owns her says she is very friendly, pretty and smart. I know I cant breed them for at least 1 1\2 years to come but I have not bred before and I am just getting information. I will have a large aviary put in the backyard but does there have to be a breeding aviary and normal aviary or can I have one large aviary that has a door separating it into two when I want? Also I have a 5 year old female Weiro that is very shy and timid, what would happen if I bred the IRN's? Would they injure her when breeding? Should I separate them during breeding season? I don't and won't want to be a breeder that has a lot of birds breeding just one or two pairs that have one or two clutches a year, I love my birds and just want to have fun with them! Then if they do have chicks and I want to hand feed\raise them what age should I take them out of the nesting box? And sorry I know I have asked many questions so far I just have two more What do I put at the base of the nesting box? And lastly, what fruits, veggies, etc. can i put in the cage for health and calcium etc.I am so sorry for having so many questions, if someone can answer all of them that would be great but if not if a few people answered a couple that would be awesome as well
Again sorry for so many and such a long story
