I guess the answer to that question would depend on whether you are a male or a female of the species... or if you were gay or straight.

Could you be more specific?!

FEMALE ECKIES are the dominant of the pair. If that is what you are asking. In the wild they are "serviced" by multiple males.

In captivity I don't know. I don't breed.

But I do know that there is significanly more to breeding eckies than just sticking a bunch of birds together in an enclosure.

Well ive currently got 1 male 1 female but im wanting to build a larger collection so I was wondering would it be better to introduce another male or female next?

 

[Birdman666]

I would guess male.

Females establish the nests.

Males do what they are told. And if they are obedient boys, and make her happy, they get to breed...

But then again, I don't breed.
