Maturity

[waltersmum]

Well, i have Walter whom i'm not sure is male or female. He had that male look about him so i called him Walter.

Walter is now i think about 10 months old. Today he keep trying to sit on my hands and rub his rear end into my hand!!

Now i'm getting a sneaky feeling !! I may be wrong. That Walter is in fact a male and is getting just a little amorous with me, he seems too young though. Is 10 months too young?

Thanks

My GCC Jasmine is 10 months old and is Being an adolescent brat. She is also doing a lot of crouching down and wing flicking so ..... Bit early but not impossible!!

You can never be sure unless you get a DNA test done, or if Walter lays an egg!
Just for reference, Birdy is a DNA tested male and was displaying similar behaviour to Walter's at 10 months of age. Often he's just itchy.

I have heard of green cheek conures reproducing as early as 5 and 6 months in age, so it doesn't surprise me if a 10 month old is displaying hormonal behaviors.... even if it's just teenage hormones.

My friend had a quaker parrot that was female and loved to mate on my friends foot. So you can never be to sure of the birds sex.
