At last! Been a tough pairing for months...
Either wild boy molt or followed by pretty girl molt, after that no form,guard food, uncertainty,interested and loss interest, you name it i faced it! All this has been going on for months already, so much till i am considering removal of wild boy as my breeding stock.
Lately, i notice his form coming up showing more interest in mating. Started since he came back from katong bird shop.. he start to inspect nest, doing the flight pattern in the aviary, try mating pretty without courtship and prewarn... so the moment he is near, pretty girl will avoid to another corner therefore it will not have any good out come!
Today, 1st may 2011.
I arrange for vehicle so that i can bring him out hoping that he will be in better form to do a proper courtship with pretty girl. I brought him to Bishan Chai tio today, he is performing pretty good i would say but ofcourse not good enough for me to think that it makes the trick for pairing...
Just when i was about to reach home ( finger cross regarding the courtship thingy) i got a call from my friend. Offering to breed them for me! That is unbelieveable i must say! It is far too much trouble and responsibilty for someone to offer such a favour... he is breeding his own birds now, so if my birds were to go to his house it will only cause trouble for him. Sigh! i was very touch by the offer but reluctant to do so as not to take friends for granted. And also i might be too poor to even buy prata lor... ; p
Anyway! Back to main topic, so he insist i oblige.. hee hee... sound good huh?? Well, i bring both birds to his house in the afternoon. He 1st let the female in to his 6star indoor aviary,followed by placing one of his male bird beside to test the form of the female. Female pass his detailed test, next he open up wild boy's cloth and just comment that his form haven't reach his top. I totally agree as i know this boy very well. Just suprise that even this he can tell that all...
Less than 5mins he remove his male bird and let wild boy into the aviary without hesitation. From then on, wild and pretty surprise me non stop. the boy did his court ship and the girl face him readily without fear, soft song,nest inspection by both of them and lastly bathe! Instantly i know very thing settled!
What the **** ! Seriously, thats what i am thinking in my mind! This two bloody kid of mine make me look super stupid lor!!! although me no expert lah! But! but! but! i can't be that lousy rite! I,I,I .... really don't know what to say about this! Just open mouth big and speechless... maybe they are being polite to the host?? respect for the host?? haha..!
So ! My own analysis is:
1, bigger and taller aviary aids in the way that both birds won't feel cornered hence more relax.
2, new environment triggers it.
3, subtantial/heavy weight challenge b his bird.
4, all the above!
And i just got a call from my friend 10mins to ten. Both birds has perch together liao! Great news but worried at the same time. Reason is because its too fast to furious! Therefore if pretty were to build nest the next day and complete it within a day as my friend predicts , the 1st few eggs will be infertile due to female over ready.
Lets see what happens and i will update here once there is news about them. :)
