Conure breeding questions
by: Tracie

They "can" start breeding as young as 6 months, but females should not be allowed to breed until after a year old, I am told.

Because you sound like you are new to all of this, please find a conure breeder that you can talk to and maybe even help so you can get some experience.

Also, please make sure there is a market for these birds, so that you don't bring more unwanted birds into the world that will just get passed from home to home.

I am not sure if you have posted before and we have mentioned that your birds need to be on a pellet diet, preferably Harrison's, to prevent egg binding.

Last, just because you have a male and female together does not mean they will choose each other as breeding partners. Our avian vet also suggests both birds be examined to make sure they are of breeding quality and not genetically related.
