Hi everyone, I have what will hopefully be a quick question.
I got my GCC Mika in July, He/she is now 9 months old. In November, I bought my mom a pearly conure. Now we don't know the sex of either of them and Luna is estimated at 7 months. Luna was a rescue so all we know is that our friend who runs the rescue, says they were about 5 months when we brought Luna home. We plan on getting them DNA tested shortly.
Now my question is this, Mika keeps standing on top of Luna, and people I've talked to have said that this is a mating thing. Now my question is, can a pearly and a GCC even breed? And is this actually mating behaviour?
I personally don't want to breed Mika, I've heard that their personalities change a lot when bred and I really don't want that, on top of that I'm in school and won't be able to hand feed any babies like I would want to.
They don't have a nesting box and don't even share a cage so I don't even know if I'm worrying for nothing.
Thanks in advance!
