Yeah he is definalty a male. I would suggest not breeding him unless you know what you are doing. You will need to find a female who is at least a year old. breeding any time before a year can be dangerous for her health. Also you can't just throw the two birds together you will need to have them in separate cages for a while and slowly introduce them, just like people they may never get along. You will need a large cage with a nestbox attached. Also males scream for different reasons, sometimes they want more attention, sometimes they are hormonal, and sometimes they are just doing it for the heck of it. Good luck!

Definitely a male! He's gorgeous.

Yeah really make sure it's what you want to do because sometimes you have to be prepared to hand feed the babies (if they have any) because sometimes the mother won't. It's really a lot of fun though if you're really
100% into it I love my tiels and wouldn't trade them for anything, and the babies are wonderful too!
