Hi,
This is a wait & see situation. Parrots choose their mate in the wild, and often have no interest in the mate we choose for them. This is one of many reasons why parrots are so hard to breed. There is nothing you can do to make them get along. By sociable, if you mean the female enjoys being handled, she may not be the best choice for breeding. In order for the birds to have a chance at bonding, you can’t handle her. But she may continue to try to get you to handle her. If you still want to try, keep them in the side by side cages and wait and see if they show any signs of getting along. If they do start spending their time sitting close to each other and interacting through the cages, then you can try them out on a stand together again. If they do end up bonding, you still have a long way to go as far as breeding. They might bond as flock members but not really form a mate bond. If they do form a mate bond, you need a very large cage and nest box. Breeding birds have to remain fully flighted. More is likely to go wring before you possibly end up with fertile eggs, then there are things that can go wrong from that point. You need a lot of patience for breeding birds. They need a nutritionally balanced diet like pellets, along with leafy greens, veggies and some fruits. It’s also a good idea to get a full check up for both birds with a board certified avian vet to make sure both birds are healthy enough for breeding.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
