INTRODUCTION and HOUSING ADVICE

[Labbie]

I currently have two female Rainbow Lorries who are about three years old and live together in a large cage.

I have just purchased a male, as I wish to start breeding. I currently breed Lovebirds but this will be the firs time breeding Lories.

I am wondering if after the initial introduction, I should put the male in the cage with both girls and let him pick and nature take its course or whether, I should separate the two females and put the male together with just one female on their own. my concern is that the two females will fight over the male. Also, do Lorries bond and pair together like Lovebirds?

Thanks

When possible it is always better to let the birds choose their mate, unless you are trying to breed a specific genetic trait.
