I have 3 pairs of gouldians and 2 spare cocks. My aviaries 2m x 1,2m x 1m. In which I have 2pairs. Then I have one 1m sqaure with 2 cocks and on hen.
My problem is it seems that they do not want to start with there breeding activity although the one pair in the bigger aviary has raised two babies. The question what am I doing wrong. :problem:

I would breed all 3 pairs in one aviary and keep the 2 spare cocks in the other aviary so spare cocks dont harass pairs that want to breed.

I agree with Finches247 plus are the Hens ready to breed? IE are their beaks nearly black?

Yes, hens beaks are all black. I have taken the suggestions made by other FF members by seperating the two cock birds from the other pairs. I have seen emediate breeding behaviour. :thumbup:
