Hey guys, i got another blue female parrotlet (Chi Chi)yesterday from wildheart pets. Her and chibi seems to be getting along ok but today i seen chibi putting his leg on her back, it looked awfully a lot like mating behaviour but she was tryna escape i think. Thing is, he's only 12 weeks old and she's 8 weeks old, isnt that too young for mating behaviour? |

They will mate at a very young age plus he's a male :) I would say its all part of the bonding process as long as you have no boxs in the cage they will be fine. |

They still mate even though they aren't sexually mature. It's just for fun (and practice!) :lol: |

When I first got mine I thought they were part rabbit the amount they were going at it, now I realise they just like to practice giggle |
