Posted August 31, 200915 yr I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. A skyblue opaline hen paired up with a dominant pied cock. Both small birds but strong colour. Well, Saturday morning I was doing the rounds checking everyone's water, seed etc and I stopped in front of the suspended and looked inside. I was completely gobsmacked to see the female atop of the male trying to mate that way!!! I have never seen it before and don't know if I will again. I thought it was just one of those odd things. I missed it with my camera at first (have taken to walking around with it now), but it happened again and again. I did manage to get a quick snap showing her atop him. Then I changed the camera and shot just over a minute video showing what went on. Her atop him, he had a go atop her but fell off. I will load the picture and video soon as I can, my Photobucket is full so may take some work clearing old photo's out saving them back on my hard drive so I don't lose them. Do I have a gay female budgie???
August 31, 200915 yr Well that is just a huge coincidence...I sprung one of my pairs doing the same thing yesterday. The hen was so forceful and she kept stopping the male from jumping her and insisted on having a go at him. The male even obliged by arching his back as the hens do. How bloody bizarre is that? What does it all mean? Should this pair be split up?
August 31, 200915 yr Oh my. Do you have natural branches?... I'd worry if she fashions a tiny whip. I hope he has a safe word!
