Bearded Barbets & Pekin Robins

my Pekins were in 6 foot flight cages although I did free flight them in the room the cages were in

There are  a reasonable amount of Pekin robins being bred here in the UK they are one of those species that has been a problem to get to go to nest it dont if sexed or not, it seems that compatability plays a major part many people have tried for many years with 100% cock & hen but nothing it but those that do click normally breed quite well, my advice is if possible purchase a number of captive bred young birds put different coloured split rings on them not too big otherwise you will find them caught up and watch who preffers who and take note.then seperate from the others sell or exchange the ones you dont need. 
I have only ever bred with1pr of Pekin Robins & it was nothig to do with my efforts they were put temp in a 6ftx3ft place with no cover what so ever just perches they scraped a few bits t start a nest so i chucked some material in for them they built a lovely nest laid 4 eggs and hatched all 4 & reared them, the cock was a brilliant dad he fed the chicks continously when the chicks were full he used to bounce on the nest to wake them up the female rarely fed the chicks at all.
