Kids are extremly cute! They are not too difficult to breed, you just have to get the right female for him (usually isnt too hard to do). Unlike weeros and lorikeets, princess etc only breed once, maybe twice a year! If you have the space and the dosh$$$ I would seriously consider it!

Also if Mango is hand raised you might find he will become aggressive when his hen is in the box on eggs. I have a hand raised pair of princess who normally greet me when i come into the aviary and make little kissy faces and are so sweet but now my hen is on eggs im getting biten and told I'm not allowed any where near THEIR box (which was originally belonging to one of my poor tiels).

If Mango's a boy you might now have too much of a problem my hand raised male is still very sweet its just the hen. I think Peter and Matt breed princess.  |

we do! and so does littlebudgie2005!
We haven't had much luck with our princess hen. She likes to lay lots of eggs, and not sit on them! So fingers crossed we get a female for ya!
