Cage bred male and wild caught female pairing.

Post by metinemre » Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:01 am

I will get a female gs for our cage bred male gs soon. You think it is ok and he can bond and mate with a wild caught female? Because where we buy our birds they only sell wc birds in large aviaries. Unless some of them breed inside in time i guess.


ps:I hope you don`t get mad cos i spammed the forum with questions. I thought it would be better to discuss different questions in different topics so it would be easier to help the other people searching the forum.

Honestly, I don't think it would create a baby big problem for the two birds. That said, you might find that your male might become more flighty with a wc mate, as well as any chicks they might have.

Wish i could find a F1 gs female here. I definitely prefer non wild caught but it is almost impossible unless we go to a bird mart i guess. Hmmm there is one in 3 days :)

On the other hand, your cage bred bird might help the wild caught bird settle more in captivity. The only way you would know for sure would be to give it a try.

You should go on FB Birdaholics Page and post a looking for add. I bet you will find a CB GS. I got my CB GS from Martie, in Upstate NY. I bet she would ship you a hen! Her birds are healthy and beautiful!
