What do you think of my new Alexandrina's

[lover_of_ringnecks]

Hi All

This is my 1st pair of Alexandrina's I got a couple of day's ago. I have Indian Ring neck's in the other averie. There averie is 141/2 feet long x 61/2 ft deep x 6 1/2 feet high

What I need is to know is what size seed do I need to feed them? at the moment I have giving then 'Small Parrot Seed'
Should I be using 'Large Parrot Seed?' .

Also If any Australian read this when is the breeding season for them.

They are beautiful!

Alexandrine eat seed small parrot seed, but it would be much better if you feed them pellet. Paradise pellet made by vetafarm is a pretty good, they are sold in large pet shores here in Aus. I feed Ozzie paradise pellet, and he loves it. Seed only take up about 5% in Ozzie's diet. And Ozzie gets about 40% of pellet, and he rest is fruits and vegetables.

Seed are ok, but make sure your alexandrines have lots of fresh fruit and veggies! But never feed a 100% seed diet!

I think the breeding season starts from November to April, but I'm not 100% sure.

Definitely check out pellets, especially if you plan on breeding them. And fresh foods are a must Birds should have fresh food as often as possible, everyday is fantastic but I know it can be hard for some people, myself included. I love using chop mixes too, they can be made in bulk then frozen.

Beautiful birds!
Well my Nimbus was born in September I think.... so around then? I know most babies start to go out around Oct/Nov and still some people are breeding now. That's so broad I'm sorry =( I'm sure someone will be more sure of this =D
It looks to me like the female is young? How old are they? I only say that because she looks exactly like Nimbus and she's only 4/5 months old
