Hello
I.have a pair of cockatiels. My female cockatiel named cinnamon makes the mating sound and the male cockatiel mini starts singing the song. But he justs keep on singing the song and then acter 3 mins stops. They do not mate. This has happened several times. Mini keeps on singing to divert her attention. But why is he not ready to mate with her when cinnamon is ready ?

How old are they? They might be too young- or simply not interested.

Ideally, the pair should be around 2 years in age, *especially* the hen. This not only tries to ensure that they are sexually mature, but also mentally as well. Younger, inexperienced birds are more likely to have breeding issues than an older pair that has had some time to mature.


I don't feel as if you are in any position to be encouraging your birds to reproduce right now. Please do more research.
