Does it matters when it comes to hormones? I was told recently that the amount of time covered doesn’t matter? I thought it did? Any articles about it?
True. In Gouldians many people even practice an austerity program, mimicking the lack of availability of rich foods during dry weather. Their bodies respond accordingly, it helps them prepare for the next breeding season.@Mizzely raises a great point. One I've wanted to raise a few times before but never got to.
With equatorial birds the season is triggered by the availability of rich foods likes like fruit and nuts. So by reducing these foods we can hold off the 'urge'.
