Birds that are related mating?

Hi, i was just curious to know,
if u have 2 birds that are siblings or are related (ex:father, daughter/ mother, son/ brother, sister etc. ), can we breed them? or can something wrong happen :? ?

 

No, and if you don't know that you shouldn't even breed them until you know more about them.

 

HI in the wild the parents would drive there chicks away from each other as to stop inbreeding as this weakens the breed and can cause alsorts of problems.

I would advice against it, If your wanting to breed i would have to say to purchase birds of the opposite sex of the ones you have and pair them up this way you are not taking anhy chances.

Also if your going to breed its advisable to wat till febuary march next year when the warmer weather starts coming back in this is the ideal time to start pairing birds up..

In females If she does not get enough calcium this will cause her to become weak and even lay soft eggs which will be broke.
If the room the are kept is too cold then she will suffer from egg binding(egg stuck in oviduct ) which is fatal if not noticed and treated by an avian vet.
