These babies are hand fed babies and will be paired with other
unrelated off spring.

So I end up with two males and one female for 2005 which are
produced from the same parents. The upcoming 2006 breeding
season will hopefully be eventful and the #2 pair will produce.
Then if they do and I have the right sexes to make pairs then they
will be paired up eventually.

May 2006 - Puff is 7 months old.
Puff posing on my hand! As you can see she still has some black in
her
beak which will fade away when she gets a bit older.
The 2 Males of 2005 that are held for the up coming offspring
females from the
Coral Bill Pair #2... when females are available then these males
will be put with 2 of their females... hopefully! In this photo
these males are now a year old as of June 13 & 17th of 2005.
2 Coral Bill Pionus Males
Shown here is the 2 males with female (Puff) in center.
This hen which is from Pair #1 now has 2 chicks in her nest which is
the same hen that produced last year the 3 young Coral Bills that
you see on this page. She only laid 2 egg this time and both
have hatched out as of July 19th and 21st 2006. In this photo
you see one chick that is out from under the hen while the other one
is under her!
At this time Coral Bill Pair #2 has not gone to nest and most
likely will not for 2006.
December 13, 2007
For the 2007 year, Coral Bill Pair #1 produced 3 babies which the first two were
sexed as males from first clutch and then a second clutch was laid and 2 eggs were laid but only one hatched out and was sexed as a female. The first laid male will be paired up with a single female that will make up my 5th pair of Coral Bills. The other two will remain as future breeding stock when other unrelated mates can be paired.
Two Males - #5 on left and #6 on right! Both Sweet! These two
are from our pair #1.
Two males and the female on right side and a Maximilian inthe background.
Both Males and a Maximilian on the left hand side.
Two same males.
#5 is the one who will be paired with the single female that I have
waiting to be paired - the female may be brought in to be introduced and
then put together while in here and then come late spring or early summer
the male and female can be put out into the aviary... by then they should be
well adjusted with each other. The other two will be caged separately and
also be put in aviary caging as well but not together as they are brother and sister.
