Well, I've started pairing my Tokays up and have thoroughly enjoyed watching the mating behaviour of both the males and females. They won't do much while I'm watching so I secretly film them every night like some kind of pervert! I have found this female to be particularly comical. The male had already attempted to breed with her but he struggled to "get it in" (hey we've all been there) and didn't go the whole hog. Despite desperate pleas from his female friend, he was too ashamed to have a second attempt. Here's a couple of video's (taken lazily on my phone from the TV) of her attempting to get his attention. as a note, The male is tucked away behind the top rail, you can just see him. In the second video the female starts out in the top left corner...The tail wagging is very comical!

Should do haha. I've taken the camera off them now and on to another pair. She's a "virgin" so if she lays fertile eggs I know they have done the deed. So far pairing up is going well. I've read a lot about tokay mating behaviour but it's great seeing it first hand. I've learned a lot just by watching.
