Strange breeding behavour

Question
Hi Erika

I have asked you questions in the past and you have been a great help
I have a strange question
I have 8 budgies breeding in a aviary 2 pairs are breeding now which is good
But there is a problem
2 Males have paired together and 1 if feeding the other they always kiss
One will go into the nest box and the other will feed him from there
It is strange and is not good as they wont breed
They are defintly males as they have had babies before with other females so i dont no whats going on
Can you please help
Thankyou alot
Mitch

Answer
Hi Mitch!

Is one of these males young? Young birds will often cry for food and their father or another older bird will feed them. And when I say young birds I'm talking between 3 months and 2 years. If they continue doing this then I suggest removing one of the males and hope the remaining male pairs with a female. You may have to keep them separated for around 3 months, by then they should have forgotten each other.

Hope this helps!
Erika
