Re: Too young to breed?

Hope you are successful. I also have young IRNs. Not sure if I have a pair. I have a 1 1/2 year old green IRN who I think is a male. His ring is getting darker. My other one is a 1 year old lutino and hope it is a female. Base on your situation and if I have a pair, they should be ready to breed nex...

My breeding pair are not tamed. Everytime I step into the aviary they fly around. I have read in an old post on this website that they eventually figure it out. I just want to confirm this with the experts first hand. If I have to wait another two years than I will wait. Female is currently laying o...

Hello,

I am from southern california. It is still pretty warm here. my birds don't seem interested in breeding. they keep fighting with each other. the hen did produced eggs this last spring and was sitting on them but nothing happened. I'm guessing it is still early.

Should the nestbox be removed during off-season?

I have been noticing that both my IRNs are not roosting inside the nestbox. Should I remove the nestbox during the off-season? I house my birds outside in a walk-in aviary. By removing the nestbox during the off-season, will this encourage mating during the breeding season? I will be placing the nes...

The pair of IRNs were given to me and was told that they are about 3 years old. They are house in a aviary that I built which measures 7'L X 4'W X 7'H. I feed them the best food I can find from the pet store plus fresh fruits and vegies. Water is changed daily with a few drops of Vitamins. They also...
