Comments for Parakeet Aggressive Behavior

Beverly, 19 July 2021

Hi would like some advice please, we bought a 5 month male budgie which seemed lonely, so by the time he was 7 plus months we purchased another budgie that we believe is a female who was also 5 months , they seem to argue and bicker and sometimes sound very cross with each other, they tend to give a lot of warning peck at each other and the female will jump on the males back and if the male goes to eat , the female will try and stop him, the female constantly pesters the male who is more placid and quiet The female is lively , on the other hand we keep thinking that it’s going to turn nasty and blood will be drawn , be great full for advice as a little worried about them , many thanks !

I have2males both 9 weeks from hatch in the same cage. One of the birds is very loud squawking and dominant in bursts with the food. He keeps scratching in the food and not eating until he is ready. Keeps the other one away. I have lessened there food and sticky taped the lid. I think he is put out by the other bird. He pushes the other bird away. They can perch together nicely.

I have a man female body they are about 1 to 2 or 1 1/2. I have a nesting box they’re calcium blocks and water to multiple food purchases and to swings. It’s a very large cage well not too large but large enough. I have a nesting box in there because I’m trying to breed them. When the mail goes to mount the female she would bite him and his foot he always put it on her shoulders so I was wondering why won’t she let him mount?

birds are 50% dog and 50% two yr old human . most tricks and training can be used for either. in your case redirect your birds attention by spraying him with water which will give him a bath and he will focus on pruning. if he raises his wing he is saying get under here too.

I am first time breeding my budgies.Everything was going well my female budgie laid 5 to 6 eggs. The male was feeding the female well .After 15 days the male is starting to fight with female pickling all her feathers even fighting in the nest box I have never seen male fighting with female during breeding After that I have put a partition in the same cage. After 2 hours I removed the partition again the male started to fight with female Then I have to put the partition again Will the female alone will feed for herself and hatch the eggs Waiting for expert advice

I bought 2 buggies almost a year ago. I was hoping to get a pair but I purchased them very young from Petco. The mail (I think because he is trying to mount the other bird. But the other bird won't have it.) The area above their beaks have not changed at all. What is going on?

My male budgie is full grown and has now become very violent towards me and my family. Biting hard, divebombing us, screaming loudly If anyone comes near him. What can I do to calm him down..
