Yound bird breeding :(

[Guest cosmic dave]

I pick my first birds up in 3 weeks, will they want to breed ? and how can I discourage this ? I don't want to split them up. I am not putting any boxes in the the loft just perches, will this help ?  :-/

how old are they dave ?

[Guest cosmic dave]

I'm not sure, the guy I'm getting them from says they will be ready in 3-4 weeks.

[Guest ROCKYandRAMBO]

must be young birds then , so no i dont think you will have to worry about them breeding just yet mate and perches will be fine for them

Cheers, Ive got so much to learn with them this summer without the complication of them wanting to breed.

Dave chill mate,   It will be 3/4 months before they even think about pairing, worry about it nearer the time, its not a problme anyway, could help you aswell.

No matter what age they are they'll come a time during the year they'll want to breed, all that needs to be done is replace their eggs with plastic dummy ones.
