Male bird fertility

Is it right that tamed male alexzandrine parrots are very less fertile.

Hi,

Being tame shouldn’t have any effect on fertility, but it can mean that the bird is less likely to bond with a mate and breed. When you decide to breed your pet, you have to give up your attachment to the bird or it causes confusion and jealousy with the bird’s mate. Breeding birds generally cannot remain tame pets. They need to focus on their mate and eventually eggs and chicks.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
