Hi all,
So I’ve had a male and female cockatiel for roughly 4 years now they share the same cage etc recently I’ve changed there cage lay out there showing signs of mating and my male only manages to put one foot on her back and then backs off. They both make the mating sounds and are very loud 😂 where is it going wrong? Thank you

Well....at least your getting further along than I am! I have two mated pairs that won't mate period! One of the males WANT'S to but the 4 year old female isn't having it! Let me ask you this, Have you placed a breeding box in there cage? As for actually doing what there suppose too, it sounds like the both have the urge but are unsure of how to go about it. Is there a avain vet anywhere close to you that you could seek further advice?
