mating

Roughly 11 weeks ago, my Male Conure passed away. Not long before his departure, I recall him mating with my female conure. Today, she has laid an egg. While I know laying unfertilized eggs isn't uncommon, is there a chance that these might be fertilized? I'm curious about the possibilities...

My 4 month old Pineapple GCC has been acting strange lately. She grabs my finger with her beak and puts either one or both of her feet on it, and fluffs up a bit and wags her tail. Does this mean she is trying to mate with me? The breeder DNA sex'd her female, but I'm not convinced she isnt a...

In abut a week or two I'm bringing home a new baby Sun Conure. I currently have a male Sun Conure so I was wondering if I bring home a female Sun Conure, how do I keep them from breeding? I'm only allowed to have one cage so I can't separate them and as soon as school starts again, I'll be busy...

Something that my first avian vet told me was that the lower back and the sides under the wings are erogenous zones which I shouldn't touch. This was after asking him about it following an article I'd read that claimed the whole body below the neck is an erogenous zone. Since then, I've seen...

We just recently bought a new green cheek conure. Hes very friendly and gets along with my cinammon cockatiel they are both like 1 year old. And my concern is that my conure preens and regurgitated for my cockatiel but for some reason starts stepping on her head and neck. I don't know if he's...

I was given 2 gcc by a lady who didn't want them anymore. I didn't know what age or sex they were until today. Now I'm pretty sure which is which after watching their behavior just now. My question is now what do I do??

Hello, I have two Alexes. The male is 2 and a half years and the female is one year. Often, when the two are next to each other the male walks up and down and then walks right upto the female, bobs his head and puts his head under her beak while making a clicking noise. He will continously...

So, I recently got a green cheek conure, and now have also let out 4 parakeets from quarantine. My conure--Kikki--seems to be in love with a particular parakeet. Preening her, cuddling her... and is now attempting to stand on her which I believe is an attempt to mate with her. :rainbow1: :whiteblue:

Hello All! I just got the DNA results for Cecil back and was surprised to find out he is a girl. I'm surprised primarily because he has been strutting around, bobbing his head and flitting his wings. I assumed this was some sort of male display--I was obviously wrong!! Then there is the...

When Archie is performing his mating dance for me (usually every morning) aside from the usual head bobbing and twisting, neck stretching, whistles and chirps he also crouches down, pushes his wings forward and slightly away from his body. He ends up looking as if he is hiding his head between...

Hi my name is Arthur and I am new to this forum. I just thought I would share a picture of one of my English Budgies. What do you think.
