Mating

I have my 2 indian ringnecks both 3 years old male they are showing sign that they want to mate because they are trying ti scratch their butt on the rope perch what will i do since they are both males? Thank you for answering.

Hi,

This is normal with pet birds, whether they have a mate or not. If they are trying to mate with a toy, remove the toy. You might need to get different kinds of perches or move things around if they continue this behavior excessively.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
