Breeding curiosity

[Nanasbirds]

I heard someplace a long time ago that Alexandrines only chose one mate for a Lifetime. Meaning they would never mate with another in their lifetime. I am curious if anyone knows about this or if they breed the Alex's and can tell me if its a waste of time to have my Alex with another bird since his mate passed????
Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated!

I think birds do sometimes take new mates if the old one has died. I’m not sure if that description is true for Alexes anyway. IRNs do not keep the same mate from season to season but dissolve the pair bond after baby raising is over. Alexandrine behavior and lifestyle (natural history) is similar to IRN.

If you think your Alex is lonely a new friend might be an option, but it will change your relationship with him. is he doing poorly or seeming lonely?
