Re: Breeding season for the Top End?

She laid 3 eggs, all were fertile, but the 1st one was an early DIS (there was air bubbles in the egg as well) the eggs should hatch next week. I haven't checked her box for over a week I'm just leaving her to it. My 2nd pair haven't laid yet, but plenty of mating still.

Re: Breeding season for the Top End?

Thanks Dylbagz, Nothing new to report. No eggs as yet but lots of mating from 1 pair (I cant really see the other aviary from indoors so I haven't witnessed any mating other pair other than the first few times I caught them after the nestbox went it) And both females have been in and out of the nest...

Re: Breeding season for the Top End?

So thought I would post an update, both of my pairs have been mating, feeding each other and I'm currently watching 1 of my pairs preening each other (very cute) They have been spending a bit of time in the boxes so hopefully it won't be long before the 1st egg makes an appearance :)

Re: Breeding season for the Top End?

Thanks dylbags, I knew cockatiels and budgies breed all year round here (altho I never breed them between nov/dec till April/may as it gets too hot) I was told that ringnecks have seasons, thats why I thought I would ask if anyone knew when that was for the Territory. Great to see another Territoria...

Re: Breeding season for the Top End?

So I decided to add a nest box in to see what happened. Within 1 minute of me leaving the aviary they were over there poking their little heads in. By the 5 minute make they were in and exploring the box. That afternoon I caught one of my pairs mating.

Breeding season for the Top End?

Hello :)

Just wondering if anyone knew when the breeding season starts in the Northern Territory? Is it earlier or later than the southern states?
