They build the greatest nest, mine prefer the cocofiber. Best wishes for a nest full of eggs :D

This morning both were adding material into the nest basket.
One time, both were in the basket for quite a while.
Now, could they have been mating inside the basket like gouldians?

Mine uaually breed early morning out in the open for all to see :oops: The male will court his lady and she will rock on the branch forward, he will mimac her then back and forth like rocking horses. She will then rock extrmemly forward so her butt is way up in the air...this must be his signal because he jumps right on board and rides the rocking horse :lol: :oops:

They both will build the nest and both incubate the eggs, sometimes together :D

Well, they were not Tess and Monty.
It was Tess and Bess!
So I traded them away for my second pair of Cubans.

#-o That happens so much with PF's! People don't take time sometimes to make sure what sex they are.

Good luck with your Cubans!
