Неразлучники самцы

Добрый день, у меня два неразлучники розовощекие, думала, что пара, молодые, начали спариваться, повесила домик, но кладки нет, и мне кажется, что это два мальчика, сто же делать теперь?

Hi,

You should have a DNA test done on each bird to determine their gender. They may simply be too young to breed. Lovebirds should be close to 2 years old before setting them up to breed. They may be able to lay eggs at a younger age, but they aren’t ready to settle down and care for eggs and chicks physically or mentally. It is also important that they are not related to each other. Even if they are old enough, the pair might not be compatible as mates. They choose a mate in the wild, and do not always bond with the mate we give them. And some pairs need more time to bond and be ready to breed. The lack of any egg laying doesn’t mean you don’t have a hen. There are many reasons why a pair might not produce eggs. But the first step is to have the blood tests run and make sure you do have a male and female, and make sure they are old enough for breeding.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
