Hi all. Here is my first breeding journal! My first pair, Dave and Tess. I don't have high hopes for these 2 though. They are quite old But anyway, might as well try. They have had one fertile egg, but its better than nothing Tess: Dave: Nicola

Here is my next 2 birds Lilly and Romeo. They haven't paired up yet, but I am hoping they will. Romeo is very stubborn and will not stop trying to feed Lilly ;D She 'pecks' him into line though ;D Lilly: Romeo: Lilly is about 2 this year and Romeo is about 3, so high hopes for these 2. Once they pair up that is ;D Nicola

Thanks Mick. Hi Marianne. Yes, I am sure Dave is a boy. He and Tess have been paired up for years. But thanks for replying Nicola

Hi again Marianne no, Dave and Tess haven't successfully had a chick of their own. They have had one fertile egg, but by my mistake, they lost it. I thought it was infertile when it wasn't. I will never do that again! Nicola

Hi everyone. I have recently put the nesting boxes in. Tess has been spending quite a long time in there, but Lilly isn't that keen. Finger crossed for successful breeding Nicola

New update! Lilly didn't pair up with Romeo but she did pair up with Gilbert, a normal green! I saw her go into the nesting box and the pile of shavings she has taken out is enormous! I am VERY excited now!

Hi BB. Yes, I have seen him feeding her. I think she was wanting him to mate with her as it looked like she was diping her back. But they didn't mate Nicola
