if the birds are in breeding condition then i don't see why you shouldn't bring them inside as long as you have plans for the babys. if they are not in condition then i wouldnt try and breed them but if you wanted to you could still bring them in but not with a nest box. if dont want to bring them inside then maybe it's worth investing in a small heater for the avairy that is set to come on in one corner so birds can sit there if overly cold, make sure it is covered though.

20C sounds fine you dont want it to be too hot or the eggs will cook and die but 20C is deffinatly withing the comfort zone.

hope this helps.

TAKE THEM INSIDE

20DC is not hot.. I live in the tropics and it never drops below 20 and my birds are fine :budgiedance: The harsh cold though could kill your birds..

Now hurry up n go move them (id help if i was closer)

Good luck n Cheers :beer:

I think you should let them settle in a bit as well instead of putting them straight into breeding. Moving to a new home is stress conditions and they need time to adjust before the stress of breeding. I understand you being anxious to breed them, but give them a week or two to settle in.

hi,

im going to start moving them in asap.karen i have only paired up the original birds i got and all the new ones are going in my large flight cage.

chat to you later

:budgiedance: When i said to bring them in ASAP i was thinking because of the cold.. umm not for Breeding
