Jessica, did doing those things help with Dawn's breeding behavior? I need to do those things too, now. My tiels are hardly EVER in the mood to mate...they rarely do it, but they do it during spring...and well.....that's exactly what they want to do right now. 'sigh'

I've been putting them to bed at 7pm and waking them up at 9:30am these past 2 days, and it seems to be working a little bit. They're not as hyper as they were two days ago, but they're still in the mating mood (though not as much). I'm seperating them as much as possible. I need to stop petting Muffin so much. I know it stimulates the behavior during spring-time. Problem is she won't leave me alone until I scritch her. LOL! She makes me feel guilty if I don't.

They do this every spring and it always passes, and then they calm down for the rest of the year, so I'm hoping I can turn their clocks around soon. Have to get them back to thinking its winter. He he he! Muffin has never laid an egg in the 5 1/2 years I've had her, so I'm hoping she won't....as she has been in this mood every spring for the past 3 years and never laid an egg. I just need to calm them down so they don't do it more. Must teach those birdies to abstain. LOL!
