Hey Olga,
I was thinking last nite about your IRNs and I remember reading an article on a web site one time and I think that it might help you......let me see if I can find it...........here it is:
“I have found, many times, that pairs will not breed when they are a different color. This is usually because they have never been around a bird of that particular color. When I raise them myself, the youngsters are all put into two large flights--males in one flight, females in another. All the colors are mixed together. These birds will easily accept a mate of any color they are used to being with. But, for example, put a blue with a lutino, neither having ever been with a bird of this color, and you may be wasting your time. Many times they will not breed.”
Thank you so much for this I did not know this at all Well I have to wait and see They seem to be in love, are always really close together... but you'll never know.... There aren't so many Ringnecks in Iceland so.... hopefully it will work
I really like your birds, did you breed them? Do you have more pics of them Are they all handfeed??
Birds??
Ulfur,
That's not MY site..LOL I found that site on the net. I only have one bird.
As far as the handfeeding...I don't know if she handfeeds them or not..
Hi, lovely IRN's.
Myself in particular iam having a terrible breeding season. Its been around 4 months since i got a blue(female) and Green(male) like yours but they never bonded. Maybe because of the different color issue!! Iam so mad about it since its breeding season down here in Florida and how expensive they are. Well i wish you good luck with yours.
