My husband just bought me a pair of peach faced lovebirds for my birthday. He asked for a male and female. I'm not sure of their age, but how can i tell when they're ready for nesting? We bought asoft 4x4 area that they can can hang out in. I don't believe it's a suitable nesting box. From what I'm reading, it says to buy 2 simialr nesting boxes...one for sleeping and one for nesting. They use the sof furry one for sleeping, so can i just buy another box (not the same kind) for nesting? And being that they both have to be placed high in the cage, how do i keep the babies safe once they're born? I don't want them to fal and get hurt.

They are ready at six months, but you should wait until they are one year old. Let me know if you need help setting them up for breeding.

I just acquired a pair of male and female white doves. They are 8 months old, but were nest mates and are brother and sister. The female has been laying eggs, but the previous owner discarded them as she did not want more doves. I am getting conflicting answers on letting the brother and sister interbreed. He has been mounting her and they seem to be bonded at 8 months old. Will there be complications in the young if I let them breed? I do have another 3 year old female that has been laying unfertilized eggs and was wondering if it would be best to see if she and the 8 month old male would mate and put the 'sister' in another cage. Please tell me your thoughts on the 'interbreeding' as the 8 month olds were nest mates. Or if I am on the right track by putting the other female, totally unrelated in with the male. Thanks so much. Linda

I got my ringneck about a month ago he was 2 months old and was on his last couple weeks of hand feeding. He was ratting treats out of my hands riding my shoulder playing walking around the house very happy.. Then one day out of no where he nibbled my hand. I didn't think anything of it as the breeder told me they go through a bluffing stage after winging off of hand feeding. The next day he was like baby jaws... All he wanted to do was chew he chewed up all his toys his little wood blocks... Now I can't pick him up anymore hell still eat out of hand and even come sit next to me but the minute I tell him to step up he try's to bite... What do I do???

Ring necks are very much 'it is my way bird'. They are somewhat affectionate when real little and hand feeding and go right to the terrible two's. They aren't what I call a 'velcro bird' such as a conure who just love attention, play, pet and affection. They are 'on my terms' bird. He's also in what I call the 'teething stage' which most parrots seem to have. I think they are wearing down there baby beak but as far as they are concerned, everything is destrutible and they chew on anything. This ends and they learn to play with their toys and then chew on them and break them apart. Biting - don't give him any treats unless he 'steps up'. Hold his beak closed and yell 'NO'. You can accept 'his terms' and just learn his body language. You can get him on a separate perch and use treats to 'step up'. You can use your hands/arms and try and train him to walk up the stairs moving one hand over the next and saying 'step up'. I know there are many many people who have Indian Ring necks and enjoy them immensely. I have big parrots and I enjoy them immensely, affectionate, don't bite, silly etc. Never had training or biting problems with any of them. I have not found the 'ring necks' or others in the parakeet family(not including budgies) to be anything but very independent and difficult. Conures are about the same price and wonderfully loving, afectionate, playful. I honestly do not know if you can stop some of the biting. They are just independent and they must do all the training and their human must obey. The only reason I am saying this is because for me it has to be so difficult to 'bond' and have a fun/loving relationship with these guys. They are handsome and enjoyable to watch and will be company on their own terms but a difficult bird. They will fly to you and sit there but often times you can't pet them. It's almost that a person has to train them to accept affection where most of the biggers guys are like a baby and want you attention and love.

I got my female's wings cut and got a face washer and handled her in that and offered treated for some reason she took to my green face washer and soon knew it wouldn't hurt her and would let me pick her up. I placed her on my top and cuddle her until she was quiet and did that for a few weeks soon I was able to say scratch and pat her head without her biting. Mind you I did get heaps of bites one breeder told me to push my finger in not hard but enough to shock her. Does hurt but only had to do it 5 times and she stopped. Just takes time. I can now do anything with her from opening her wings up to scratching her head.
