So first here is a picture of "amores": yes Lucky and Chico Help needed - "amores" 2643855592
(they do it to each other for a while and I don't know WHAT I was thinking before)

I told joke here a long time ago that jealous Chico will see my budgie egg and look at Lucky and will make egg for him - it was joke and it became REAL! Yeah, laugh now Help needed - "amores" 2643855592

Help needed - "amores" Love

You all know I never cared about breeding, so now will be all the questions I thought I would never ask... Starting from simple, but for me unknown.

Okay I know that if different species of parrots cross breed, and their genetics are far from each other, then the egg won't be fertile.
I also know that for females laying eggs is dangerous, they have to have special rich diet, calcium etc.
And the question is: what do I do now? Separate them?

Just to reminder that all of my Monsters are living happy in one inside aviary - we bought them new one.
Lucky likes all of our birds and he loves Chico. If I separate them now, Chico will be fine having so many bird and human friends, but Lucky will go crazy: screaming, biting, etc.

Should I continue that crazy love with all the consequences or separate Lucky and make him unhappy for everybody best? I don't know the answer. Counting on you guys with your thoughts.

I'd leave them to gether, IMO. Chico shouldn't lay eggs very often if she doesn't have a good place. i don't think you have to worry about cockazons.

Thanks Capt.,
Separate Lucky from rest of our crew would be the last thing I want to do and only if I really, really have to. He is happy with his little fellows and he protects them like a wolf! Thanks for advice!

Heya Margaret!
Agree w/ the Capt. Leave them alone. Doubt they'll do anything serious. Just don't give them anything that looks like a nesting site; remove anything that starts being a nesting site.

Although cockazons would be pretty cool. . .

BTW - they are adorable together.

Thanks for your advice Roz, nice to see you too!
I will place more pictures of those "Amores" or video if I have time to record them grooming each other Wink

Okay, update time.
Last time Chico left me surprise- 5 eggs. Each one in 2 days distance.
"The best friends" stopped for about 2 weeks or so, and today I saw already Chico at the bottom of aviary searching for a perfect spot and Lucky with her, defending her. The Lucky-Monster jumped from the floor and bite my ear to make me stay away from them. I don't know what,s worst place to bite: lips or ears tragedy
He never touches other birds, knock, knock

Lucky is in the separate cage.

I don't know if this will help him, but he became so jealous about Chico and food, that he was aggressive to other birds. Nothing serious happened - thank goodness!
He can spend time with his feathered friends now under our supervision. Lucky's cage is next to little's aviary, so they can see/hear/watch/contact each other - I know it's not the same Sad

Yeah, male zons can get pretty aggressive about their nesting area/mate. I would think it's a short lived thing and should go away after spring. of course him and chico will still be mates.

Okay, update

It's hard to say, because it's not long, but Lucky is behaving and little ones too. I'm watching specially Lucky closer, I don't want him to start pulling feathers or anything like that. I know he misses Chico, but she immediately stopped with eggs. They're insane and I love them!

I'd definitely have done the same thing! I'm sure he'll be OK, but I know you'll keep a close eye on him!
