it's going to be a poor breeding time.

Well it looks like my boys are not interested in my girls. The girls are in perfect breeding condition and all the boys want to do is chat eachother up i have separated some boys to try and get them out of chatting eachother up but they call eachother and keep climbing the cage front.its so annoying because by the time my boys will get over their bromance my girls will start to go out of condition.
See what happens over the next two weeks.

I know how you feel. It's very frustrating.
Are you using all wire cage and can they see each other?

[ianb]

do you keep them all together in one flight/cage,if not it might be an idea to try it,that way they might pair themselves up,if you are not bothered on the pairings.

All my birds are kept in a flight together.when its time for breeding i separate the girls from the boys.they can see eachother still. Its the boys that are my problem.it would mean separating the boys into one individual cage where they cant see eachother but they can call to eachother.
the individual cages would have to be my breeding cages and they have sides in so the couples cant see eachother.

isn the pairings dont bother me really.they are all kept together when i am not breeding but i separate the girls and boys three months before breeding. Its just my boys that arent interested in my girls really.

I see. I have never had such an issue. I guess there is no way putting them all far from each other.

[ianb]

try leaving them together and not separating,if any pair themselves up put them in a breeding cage.

[suejr69]

I wish i could separate them far away from eachother bb.i think i might be a little impatient so i think i will do like you say ian and put them back together and see what birds will pair up.
thanks for your help.
