Health & WellbeingHow do you know if your bird is ready to mate or has an egg. Is there any signs?
Good conditions for mating are usually what spur breeding in captive birds. This includes a place to build a nest and lay eggs, a balanced diet suitable for rearing chicks and producing healthy eggs, extra calcium for egg production and a mate willing to pair and create babies. If you are attempting to breed your conures, making sure to read up on breeding and rearing of parrots is a good idea as you may have to provide extra care such as egg incubation and baby-rearing if the parents are unable to do it themselves. Hand-taming is another good thing to research to help raise babies that are comfortable being handled by and around people.
