if you keep them in seperate cages push them together. if she shows signs of wanting to mate she should come to the cage wall with him. if she doesn't put him in the cage with her but from the other side keep your distance cause if she is like my pandora she knows all she has to do is puff up look at me and his and she knows being my angel i'll protect her and take her out asap. but keep trying not alot but like once every 3-4 days at a time. or if you can put them up on a free range that small cage might make her scared and she won't want anything to do with him.
