I have 5 pair in an aviary and would like to move a pair to another 2m x 2m cage I have set up. What do I need to look for or how do I determine which pair to use. Thanks

If they are all normal GB's,pick out the better looking birds and breed for size and quality or preferred head colour. Craig

Also if your birds are keen to breed it will be evident specially if your familiar with there courtship, it would be this pair that I breed as long they tick the boxes mentioned above by Craig.

Some people also recomend that the pair are the same head colour. I prefer this. Not everyone does, but it will make it more likely the young will have the same head colours as the parents.
