Pairs

I dont know breeding time in NZ but here in Austrailia 1 of my 3 pairs is on eggs already.
So if your season is soon i would suggest not placing another pair in with your exsisting ones as they may fight if close to breeding.
Cheers

Are you planning to quarantine the new pair?

Breeding time in NZ is around September i think, i put them together today and the female chased them around a bit so i had to seperate them. probably just have to nag dad to build another aviary soon.

how long does it normaly take them to settle in before the breeding season usually starts?
thanks
