I have two 6-week old babies, one is a male for sure. I have three 1-week old babies. Im not a breeder but I didnt separate my boys from the girls this Spring soon enough and they had babies. Only to good homes! I take very good care of my birds and I'll be very partocular to where they go. A flight cage is the smallest cage I'll allow for them and a climate controlled environment. They're young enough to train to perch on your finger
