Well this is a new one. Is Burt trying to get Pudge to mount him?

They are having sex! When they rub butts like that it's sex. They don't have to mount

Nice behavior videos. When they scratch their own face next to a friend, asking them to preen them. When they do a mini preen of their own feathers next to a friend they are asking for a mutual preen session. Like hey I can preen you? Or you want to preen me?

Welp. I really don’t want babies. And I definitely thought mounting was required :roflmao:

So does this mean Burt is a… I don’t know. Burtie? Beatrice?

nope they can be same sex.
My girls have gotten very good at butt rub sex. Sometimes one leg is raised to hold onto the other.

My male Quaker would have sex with my green cheek in the same way. They were a very bonded pair before he was lost ..

Don't provide a nest.

Online DNA sex test is cheap and reliable. You print out their form, and barely nick a toenail to bleed. One or 2 drops to the paper. Send out when dry. Ir they can ship you a firm and pre printed paper. Hold flour on nail till stops bleeding. I prefer flour.

Or ask for vet DNA test.

Best to know what you got , a pair or same sex.

But. No. Babies.

Burt’s building a nest. Or trying to, at least. He’s taking bits of destroyed toy and trying to weave it through the cage bars.
