Pairs mixed up? - So Pickles and Pepper are a couple and I bought Buzz for a mate for Shandy. I have them all in a large flight at present on a high protein diet before I seperate them in to their pairs and set them off for breeding. My understanding of kakarikis are they are quite fickle when it comes to mates and unlike budgies you can't just select 2 as the bonds they form are extremely strong, so effectively you have to follow their lead. I was quite pleased that the 2 pairs I had bought as pairs were continuing to stick together in the flight. Pickles and Pepper have been together for almost a year now and I bought them as a pair, so strong bond. I was hoping that Shandy and Buzz would form a relationship also. However.... I have just been up to the birdroom and found Pickles to be having it away with Shandy, whilst Pepper & Buzz were sleeping :-k Believe me, Shandy didn't look like she was under duress either. So is this just a fling? or does this mean Pepper has been dumped and now Shandy is Pickles's girl? I have no idea duno

Hi im sure the younger one will follow the others after a while.. try offering treats i used sunflower seeds with my first 2 who got very tame ... i just held my hand near with some seeds and sorta look the other way a bit and they would get close and take one.... after a few days of doing this they would land on my hand and take a seed .. eventually they would happily come and sit on me without the treats ... and got very cheeky! dont grab at them tho cuz if they get scared of hands you will have probs....good luck and enjoy your birdies _________________ May........ http://littlebirdhouse4mysoul.blogspot.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/OscarGarland
