from what i have noticed with mine ....it seems to be the females that let the males know they are up for it and even if a male has bonded he will go for it with another hen if his mate is out of the way and shes coming onto him enough.....
ive also had two female sisters trying to mate... and a male budgie feeding a male kakariki and trying to mate with him................. its a mixed up world of feathers! _________________ May........
............. sounds like what i do........ at the mo i have 1 chick in a nest box and mum doesnt mind me baby sitting while she is having some eating time .... this am i took him up to see my boyfriend who was still in bed and it snuggled up next to him..... was sooooooo lush.....
mine seem to lay everyother Snr Members _________________ May........
not yet.... it was the ony one hatch from the 10 she layed....... but although she has hatched 3 clutches before she is now with a new male as from june as i unfortunatly lost her old mate who was an excelent daddy... so they havent done bad really...... another pair didnt hatch any but they are newly paired too and the male i got when he was about 3 years old and im doubtful if he is fertile none of their eggs hatched.... i took a few pics of baby fluff this am ... will try post _________________ May........
Petals 1st clutch didnt hatch.... (2009) but she went on n layed a 2nd straight away and 2 hatched (i still have these 2 females... known as big and little) her next clutch she hatched 3 and the next 5 dont be too disapointed if the 1st lot dont hatch
have posted some pics on thread about my birds _________________ May........
good luck with those eggs!
if you are kinda impatient like I am, it will be a couple of weeks of waiting :)
I'm like a little kid, when I see eggs in my nests I still get excited
..... thats a bit odd......but they all seem to behave a bit differently..... Gillbert and Big have been spotted doing the do and now when ever she goes in the box for a while he pops in after to check out if she has laid or not ..... its still not at the mo.
i was going to ask what did you do with the egg you found on the floor? ...... i would have slipped it in the nest box just incase it might hatch.
another thought.......are you sure they arnt both girls..... they can get a bit confused sometimes
and...... next egg...... saturday _________________ May........
