How Long Till This Pair Should Be Ready?

Mozzie & Bubbles

 

Mozzie has been under my care for a year and was a couple of months old when i got him

While Bubbles has only been under my care for about 4 months and I can really only guess as to her age.

 

They are very affectionate and usually follow each other around the cage and I will usually catch the male feeding the hen at least once a day. Im hoping to get them breeding but dont want to do so if it will cause them problems.

Do you have a clear closeup picture of Bubbles showing her iris rings ?

No close ups as of yet, need to get more good batteries for the camera, all the cheap ones wont let me take pictures.

well it is a big risk not knowing the age of a hen when concidering breeding. many complications can occur with young mums or dads. breeding is complicated altogether. just letting you know "how long till this pair should be ready" if your hen and cock are at the correct breeding age (12 months or so ) they sound as you say to start to be bonding. four weeks of earlier after they are in a correct breeding setup the male may mate with the hen but they both have to be incondition, the males cere bright blue the females a cinnimon brown. im not sure if what i had just told you is what you wanted to know but haha i told you anyway goodluck and feel free to throw out as many questions as needed\wanted. xx Elise xx

Just to add............cere colour is no indication of the right age to breed.

I see some darker ones, she looks about 1+. No expert though, so may need some other advice
