Hi Everyone,
This is my first post on here, it's so good to have a community I can ask about my beautiful birds.
I recently got two babies (Lily and Daisy, 7 weeks old - they are now ~12-13 weeks old), they are brother and sister and were inseparable from the beginning, I was initially going to only get one, but because they were so close with each other, I had to get them both.
I have them both in the same cage and everything was fine for a few weeks, but now it seems as if they are trying to mate each other. I work from home, so I'm here a lot and can see them if they try to mate, I always grab Daisy (Initially I thought he was a girl) off Lily. I am really worried that:
1. They are brother and sister, they shouldn't inbreed. Right?
2. They are bonded with each other, but I think I should separate them? Will this be bad for them? I could put them in two seperate cages right next to each other?
I guess any other advice would be much appreciated, I love these two babies, but I really would prefer them not to have any more babies, I've already got 4 tiels in my house
Cheers for your help,
Sean
