Where would you be breeding and what is your weather or heating/airconditioning like ? Hard for some of us to say who may be in Australia and can breed outside.

Hmmm You are in the UK so I'm not sure about your weather conditions. If your birds are inside and its warm enough it will be fine. if they are outside and If the days are too short, they may not be 'in the mood' hehehe.

 

I hope the others can give you some more detailed info than i can hehehe.

Humidity is a factor you have to consider when breeding, I don't know about your weather but here where I am we have the snow falling and the humidity is a huge factor in our colder weather. So for me if I were to breed I would need a good heating system, a humidfer and a humidfer indicator to ensure that I had the correct amount of humidity.

As already stated, it depends on the environmental conditions of your breeding area.

 

In general you can breed all year round with the right artificial conditions. My suggestion is aprox 12 hours of daylight/lighting, humidity levels should be considered, plenty of food & veggies, a nestbox (of course), and temperatures that aren't too hot or too cold.
