Montys girlfriend Charlotte

Here are a couple of pictures of Montys new girlfriend. Charlotte is about 7 weeks old and has settled in well and while she was a bit funny about coming out of her cage for the first day or two, she is getting really good now and if you open her door she will climb out to snuggle up to you. Well she does that for her Dad anyway. She is Robs bird as I have Monty and he is finishing her handraising although it won't be long before she is weaned as she loves proper food already.

This is Monty and Charlottes first meeting. It went rather well considering.


And here she is on her own, sorry its a bit blurry

are you planning to breed them? Ekkies can be VERY hormonal. It isn't a good idea to keep them anywhere near one another if you aren't into breeding.

Yeah we do breed our birds and if they get along we will probably breed then in about 3 years or so. Along with a few more pairs hopefully!

There are a few people here who keep ekkies as pets and have both males and females...I keep meaning to ask them how they manage them through those hormonal times because I want to have a male eventually...
