Thanks for the Information and advice, Padraic.

I think that if I want any babies in the future, I'll have to look at another male at some point.
This fellow that I have, is probably too old (?) and also too aggressive in his pursuit. It's not just a bit of feather pulling with this guy, it's the constant chase, driving the girls to exhaustion, hardly allowing them to eat, drink, or rest, until they're sitting all plucked and fluffed up on the cage floor, looking like death warmed over.

I can't tell you how happy they've been since I pulled him put of the flight they're in. I think I've ended up with the Psycho of the Parrot Finch world when I got him . He just never stops.

Hi Laura.

I wish that there would be some egg baby results to show for it. It's almost as if he's trying too hard. Maybe he's trying to be an over achiever, to make up for his lack of fertility. ;-)
