Only problem I had with Plumheads was keeping the breeders too long. First season, 27 young from 3 pr, second season, 34 young from 4 pr, third season, 6 young from 4 pr, with 5 being cocks. From there on it was a struggle to keep numbers, after about 6 seasons I only had 3 old cocks left. Never made that mistake again, for all but the longer lived species, weavers ect, its two seasons & off to the pet shop.

lovely birds, not aggressive at all. probably your problem would be having the other birds attack IT!
