Breeding Senegals

[Melissa]

Hi all,
I'm looking for info on breeding senegals. If anyone knows of a site or two where I can read up, I'd be grateful! I have a bonded/visually sexed pair who are 7 years old and have been together since they were very young. They are not related. I'm hoping to breed them.

I have experience with baby birds as the friend I got these sennies from used to breed 'tiels, sun conures and such, but I haven't bred before.

Thank you!

You might consider buying this book:
African Parrots (African Parrots)
by Rick Jordan (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=Rick%20Jordan/103-3238994-3208648), Jean Pattison (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=Jean%20Pattison/103-3238994-3208648)


both authors have extensive experience raising and breeding the African species of parrots: Senegals, Capes, and so on.

I Don't know what the book covers, and I don't have a copy of it. Jean Pattison is in Florida and Rick Jordan is from the Hill Country Aviaries in Texas.
