The primary reason I photograph conjugal events is for positive identification of the sire. I don’t photograph them in large boxes because sometimes they copulate stretched out across the length of the cage and I can’t get a tight shot. I put several pairs together and then, flit around like a bee in the garden – going from cage to cage – monitoring progress. When I encounter a pair that is breeding, I take the picture to verify who bred whom. In this case, as soon as I put them together I was called away to the phone and forgot about them. When I can’t at least get a shot of them “in the act” I try for a shot with SOME evidence of conjugation. See it in this picture?
