It's drivin me mad.. I have 3 pairs of yellow back wb. Goulds and they seem not intrested in breedin I don't touch them just feed and give em water.. They are in the same aviary wif green singers.. Please any info would help

Are the beaks on the hens black?
Plenty of nest sites to choose from?
Maybe separate them for a while.

g-day

how old are the birds??

how long have you had them together in the aviary?

do the birds look in breeding condition?

what other food is supplied besides seed and water?

theres still along time for them to breed this yr these next few months should be the best months to breed.

it may be wise to watch them a little more to see if courtships are taking place or if males are collecting nesting material for the nests etc. my pairs are just starting to lay their clutches now and some are sitting tight.

unfortunately for us somethings take time.

good luck

being yellow back means the hens beaks wont turn black, which makes it a little harder to indicate good breeding condition.

They have been together for about3 months.. There all red heads as well there around year and half old.. Give em green grass and egg.. Seperate sound good what should I do .. Leave the males wif the breedin box or leave the females.. Thx for your replys

What is the weather like there? If too hot and not much greens their instinct may say poor season or late start to season.
Rev up the supply of greens and see if that has an effect.
