So I went through all my photo's, and figured out I got these two in particular early Oct last year, says the date stamp! So I put them in to breed. I bought a breeding cabinet for them and have put them in there with lots of food and water, greens and some calcium in their water.

They aren't breeding, and i'm not sure why. I saw them on a few occasions having sex in the main cage. But There are a few things i've noticed about their health and i'm now starting to think to split them up.

The male's beak is turning a dark green colour, darkest at his cere and lessening in intensity further down. The top of the females head, on one side is pinkish in colour. The feathers appear pinkish, i thought it was just the light but its not. Its not a staining pink, it sort of looks like a pink colour that you could expect to see if the light hit at a certain angle, kind of like just a pink sheen, but its there all the time. Theres no evidence the two have been fighting, from what I can see the female doesn't have any wounds on her head, neither of them do. She was hogging the food a bit tonight, which is usual, she keeps the seed treat for herself and makes the male go eat seed out of the bowl. But before I fed them she was sitting in the box (she seems to do this every time i come in the room, must be safe haven from me!) and he was sitting on the perch outside it and they were nibbling each others beaks and grooming each other.

But its been about 3 weeks now, and nothing, so i think i'm going to seperate them. Question I have though is there any special way you seperate them? I'm thinking about taking the male out, and leaving the female in there another week just incase i've jumped the gun and she has an egg or something like that. Does that sound okay?

Any advice greatly appreciated!
