alanmin4304 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have never hand reared them but I bred them for a number of years and learned that unlike some birds they do not tolerate people nosing in their nest boxes when they have eggs.

livingart Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have never hand reared them but I bred them for a number of years and learned that unlike some birds they do not tolerate people nosing in their nest boxes when they have eggs. and they have big beaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I never got bitten but it was close a few times. I was used to regularly checking on birds like masked lovebirds while they were breeding and no problems but I took a sneeky look at a nest with two eggs when mum left it for a moment and she never went back. Left them to it after that until the chicks left the nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
