Preparing the nest and mating outside the nestbox - להכין קן וחיזור של גולדן




see the male display himself to his lady
הוא מציג את עצמו בריקוד חיזור בפני הנקבה

mating outside the nestbox
they dare!! normaly it happens very discreetly in their nest!
לא רואים הרבה כי בדרך כלל הזיווג מתרחש בתוך הקן
זיווג מחוץ לקן



see the male display himself to his lady
הוא מציג את עצמו בריקוד חיזור בפני הנקבה






זיווג מחוץ לקן
בסוף החיזור מעביר הזכר את הזרע במעין נרתיק לנקבה
mating outside the nestbox

they dare!! Normaly it happens very discreetly in their nest!
After you have your pair set up, you will see the male display himself to his lady, he will sing, hop up and down and shake his head down. If the hen excepts him she will postion her tail to the left or right and do a little wag of the tail.Some hens I have also seen shaking their heads to the male. If the pair does not except one another, you will know as they usually sleep at opposite ends of the perch, or fly away from each other.
