Breeding/Reproduction of Blue headed pionus for sale

There are no visible means of sexing these birds. In the wild, they nest in hollow limbs or holes in trees. They are moderately difficult to breed in captivity. Place a nest box high up in a dark area of the aviary. The hen lays 3 to 4 eggs, which are incubated for approximately 24 to 26 days. The young leave the nest at approximately 8 to 10 weeks of age. The young are difficult to hand rear from an egg, and they do best if the parents feed them for the first week. Pairs may take mealworms and greenstuffs when they have chicks in the nest.  

Care and feeding

A roomy cage is required unless the bird is to be let out for extended periods. Many birds can spend a good deal of their time on a playpen or parrot perch. They eat a variety of seeds, fruits, berries, and greenstuffs. Including a formulated diet would also be beneficial.
