I have decided to put up Coral and Barney and Belle and Albert and see what happens!! I paired them off on the 9th so far Coral has been showing a lot of interest in the nest box, and there has been a lot of flirting going on. However Belle hasn't been showing much interest, in Albert, the only male she has shown any interest in is Alfred but he passed away recently... Albert is the next best thing as both Albert and Alfred were related according to the breeder I got them from, and they kind of look similar.

Alfred who passed away

Will see what happens!!

 

On a sadder note Harry escaped about 5 days ago and has not been seen since have been looking everywhere left food and water out but no luck so far I hope he comes back

I love Coral

 

I hope things go well for you and these pairs.

 

Sorry to hear about Harry I have fingers crossed that a very kinda family has found him.

 

Did you put Coral and Barney together becuase they had already bonded?

 

Just asking since Belle is a greywing and so is Barney (or clearwings) and you would have gotten more of them if paired together. Belle and Albert will give you opalines if they can connect.

Hi Nerwen,

Yes I have put Coral and Barney together because they had already bonded. I also have tried Belle with Barney before and had no luck, so I thought I might try things this way and see what happens

I understand that

How are they doing...?
