Season Birds

If you have season birds its going to be normal for you not to see to much breeding activity throw-out the whole year. Make sure before you panic because months have come by and you don’t see any baby’s that you know exactly what type of birds you have and what season are they if they are season birds. If your birds are not season birds you should not wait longer then a year to see breeding activity. Make sure you have clear what season are your birds suppose to breed and what is the proper age for them to start.

Your birds might not be pair up correctly

Another good reason why your birds are not breeding is because they are not pair up correctly. There is only 2 ways of a pair of birds coming together, one is them naturally liking each other and paring up in a colony were they have the option to pic each other. Or another way is by the owner estratigicly matching them up by color or mutation. Very important to have in mind if you are paring them up yourself that you know for sure that you have a male or a female. Make sure you have them DNA tested that way you don’t do the mistake of having two males or two females together. If you did the DNA test and you still don’t see them paring up is because they may not like each other and you will need to end up replacing one of the birds to see if they actually get to pic a mate. That’s why we always recommend to let the birds pic each other. When they pic their own mate in a colony of birds they produce faster and are happier.
