Female: masked royal blue superdelta, age 5 months, bred by me.
Late April. After overcoming fin rot, he spend most of April fighting velvet, along with his brother, that got it too. No wonder he's looking like a nightmare male.
He's not building a nest. He pass his time next to the female's cage, flaring or just staring at her. I'll release her anyway.
They mated 1 May 2016, while I was away.
When I got home, I took out the female, enough reason for him to panic and promptly eat the eggs, right in front of my horrified eyes.
I have never ever actually witnessed that. Egg were pilled in one spot in the nest. Three bites and he was belly full. I guess he had his share of eggs on Orthodox Easter..
Try 10 failed.
