i think breeding season is in november. but i might be wrong.
where in aus are you?
it might be a different time depending on where you are maybe? qld is hot so maybe breeding season could be earlier/later?
im not sure. someone will come and answer you though. and they know more than me.

Im not sure when QLD breeding season is but I think down here in Melbourne its around spring. Both my fids were born in September so Im guessing its around spring time. But we are a lil colder down here. Miss QLD weather! :roll:

No worries. I love Alan and Thea's set up! When I lived on the Sunshine Coast I was going to make a trip to see birds and avairys. But never got around to it. Hopefully in few years we'll move back up there. Perfect place for breeding birds one day. Im dreaming. :roll:

Thats why I refuse to read/learn anything about breeding... I would have a million. There are already too many needing homes.

I live in the perfect place for an aviary, secluded but off a very main road. I have the time and I do a few shoots here and there for throw away cash to front the project, as not to take away from my family.

My husband is crafty, made all our stands and a few others here have one of his designs.

I would get so attached to the babies. I would also want to love all over the aviary birds but they might fly away. :cry:

With all of that being said... if the lords willing and the creek dont rise, I might one day be blessed with a home where I can have an enclosed habitat for parrots... climate controlled, mist, whole 9 yards.

When I pull that off, I'll think about breeding a bit. I will have my enclosure... watch. :wink:

And it is going to be tropically BAD ****.

Welcome! My birds keep me confused about all sorts of things -- afraid we have confused their biorhythms in the course of domesticating them. Cheers,
