Not 2 cock birds? only 1 has red cheek patches?
1 cock 1 hen, no doubt about it
1.Are any other birds nesting and breeding?
2.Have you got adequate nesting sites with suitable structures to hold a nest?
3.Have they got plenty of fine grass available?
4.What age are the birds,did you buy them together from a breeder. The reason I mention this is
the male could be at a good breeding age and the female just too old to want to breed?
5.It could all come down to the female just not intersted in the male.
6.It may be best to split them up and see what happens.
1. I currently have Emblemas, Gouldians and DB nesting
2. I have heap of differtent next spots.
3. I put fine grass in every couple of days (pretty hard to purchase it here in Adelaide, so don't always have heaps on offer)
4. I think both birds should be around 12months
6. Split them up might be a good idea :)

How did you end up going with your cordons? I'm having a similar issue with my pair at moment.

One isnt a blue capped cordon? the other a red cheeked cordon?
