Weed, J. L., Watson, L. M.

Abstract

A neutral sanitized pairing cage is outfitted with two fresh nest boxes and a perch. Fresh fruit is scattered throughout prior to introductions. Isosexual pairs are introduced to the new cage simultaneously. A total of 10 male and 14 female pairs were successfully established. This is a success ratio approaching 50% of all available animals.
