They are both around 10 months old now, and Pipa is more calm and tame than tiki. Tiki bites if you grab him/her and pipa never bites. They came from the same mother and father at the same time. i can barely see a green ring around the neck. but someone say that they can see if it's a female or male on the beek. but i don't know how.

Just guessing they both look like males. But it's not a good idea to breed clutch mates ( brother to sister) it's called inbreeding. If you want to breed these two do a DNA sex testing on them and then go buy two more from different mother and father. Don't bother taming them if you want them to be breeders. Do more research on breeding and handfeeding before you breed.

Might be an idea to learn a little bit about the birds first before jumping straight in the deep end.
