Hi Guys,need some advice do you think these birds are bonding,I have caught Blue grooming Charlie,but she does seem to be a bit aggressive still and opinion greatly appreciated Thanks Libby.


YouTube - Are they bonded?

It looks like they are beginning to bond. From the looks of it, it seems like the hen is more interested in Charlie than he is interested in her, she is chasing him around and he is kind of running away :p
Don't be discouraged though :) My two were like that at the beginning, she was always chasing him around and trying to flirt and when he approached her she changed her mind and became aggressive :p Once she begins to ignore him and play "hard to get", he will become more interested and begin to chase her :)

Are you trying to breed them? They are a cute pair. :)

Thanks Chimpsrule i'll be more patient,the funny thing is Charlie use to be really interested i think he got sick of being rebuffed and now it's payback:)

Hi yes and hoping to breed them,i love sitting outside and just watching them i think miss Blue is very pretty and Charlie looks so proud and noble:)

Yes they are sort of bonding. More like buddy buddies at the moment though. You'll be able to tell when they have truley bonded when they are constantly preening and the male will feed the hen a lot and he will put his foot on her back, thats when hes trying to get her to mate with him. All the best with the breeding process :)
