Im thinking going on for breeding Princess parrot?
I was thinking about breeding princess parrots but every time i do more homework on them, i find more and more different opinions!
how loud are they? (we don't mind the hum but are they loud enough to annoy the neighbours?) are they a good beginners bird to breed contained by an aviary? (we were thinking of buying 2 breeding pairs - is this a good idea?) Do they step well with other parrots? and whether they are loud, would a superb parrot be better?
plz help i need some guidance :)
Answers: I have breed these birds in the past and they are uncomplicated to breed, just don't expect them to breed as often as cockateils or budgies which are very accurate beginners birds. They breed in August-Nov in Australia and they will often own 2 nests (they will sometimes go for a 3rd but try to stop them).
Superbs are also a nice bird, but you need to find a pair i.e. compatible from a young age, the princess don't seem to be as fussy.
Noisewise the princess isn't too bad, for a moment bit louder than the tiels but not by much but they make noise less habitually.
2 breeding pairs are good, make sure that you gain them from different sources so that you can pair up their offspring which makes selling their immature as a possible breeding pair a lot easier.
Hope this helps
Well since Princess Parrots similar to to be on the ground a lot they do get eye infections and need to be wormed regularly. They don't brand lots of sound, they aren't really a good beginners bird but Indian ringnecks are really nice birds and so are Sun Conures. Here is an ad that i found on pet connect they are selling a breeding pair of Ringnecks and the price is very cheap for a ringneck too. Hope this helps.
