Not breeding

My female is not breeding male wants to mate but female not mate with him but they are pair

Hi,

You didn’t mention the species so I can’t give you specific advice. Not all birds are compatible, so maybe she doesn’t care for the male as a mate. Or she might be too young and not ready to breed. All you can do if give them time, and if they do not mate after a while, try pairing them with different mates.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
