In that situation i would. But you need to make sure you will have an extra cage for your lost bird, he may come back.

I agree...... This may be a great opportunity for you to breed and raise the babies. If you love birds then I would go for it.
But be hopeful and put your birds cage out side maybe with some food in case he is nearby and wants to come home.
Always have hope. Also.....Call your local animal sheltes.
Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your baby Alex.

Only downfall I have found with breeding my IRNs is letting them go to their new homes after I have raised them.

Very hard to part with.
