Male chasing the female!
Posted: Sat Aug 04, 2012 6:10 am
Hi, I have a breeding pair of Lutino IRNs and the female had laid a clutch of four eggs but they were infertile. I recently pulled the eggs and the nestbox to give her a rest. Since last night the male has been acting aggressive towards the female chasing her around. She holds her own, trust me! But usually it is her he is afraid of. I am new at this. Should I put the nestbox back up? Is this unusual or just part of IRN behavior? I was told they had successfully reared a clutch together in the past. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
