fighting

Hello, I had 1 diamond dove male /1yo/ and recently got him a friend, another 1yo male. But the new male keeps attacking him and pecking him. Chasing him. We separated them for 4days, reintroduced them and the new male always ends up attacking him.The old one just is visibly distresed laying...

Okay so I’ve had to place each one of my parakeets in a separate cage recently because they all started fighting to the point where they were injuring each other. First Heisinbird really beat up Saul, splitting his lower beak down the middle, bruising his eye and inflicting a bite wound on his...

I have an 11 month old female quaker (bubbles) that i have had since she was only 3 months old and I’m looking for some aggression advice. I have 8 birds total but bubbles is by far my most difficult to work with, she hates all my other birds and hardly gets along with me, only rarely she will...

I was willed a tramitized female parakeet named tweet. She was approx 8 mth when I got her. She witnessed her cage mate brutally murdered by my g-mothers dog :( I took her a little over a year ago after GMA got dementia an passed. She would freak out anytime someone got near her cage...I watched...

Hi everyone, I am new to the Avian Avenue fora and was just wondering if anyone had any successful stories of formerly fighting birds reconciling or becoming friends over time. If so what steps, training, environmental changes you think may have been a positive contributor to (re)building...

Hi there, new bird mum here! My partner and I adopted two ecelectus. We aren’t sure of their age or of their history unfortunately and we are having a few issues and I was hoping to seek some advice. We have been to an avian vet and an avian behaviouralist but I’m still not clear on what we...

My cockatiel kiwi is a female living with eli who is also a female in a comfortable cage. They were friends until one day kiwi started to chase eli and didnt stop until they were out of breath and that continued for days. I have no idea whats the problem with kiwi. They have the toys to play...

Two of my cockatiels Kiwi and Eli, Kiwi is 1.5 years old and Eli is 1.3 years old, they bond alot but most of the time they just fight, either about the food, place to sleep and any kind of place! I dont know what to do, i want to seperate them but one of my cages are smaller than the other...

Hello, I am new here so I am not sure if this is the forum I should be asking this question in. My sister's boyfriend had gotten 2 INR'S from his friend who didn't want them anymore after recently buying them as babies (I think). After a couple of weeks my sisters boyfriend decided that he...

Hey guys, I adopted a pair of green cheek conures from a local breeder some 2 weeks ago. They are a boy (Mac) and a girl (Linux), both hatched mid April this year. They are from different parents. When they first came, they seem to get along really well. However, starting this week, I noticed...

Ask Yoshi my GGC is quite aggressive at times to the cockatiels. Today he pulled a few of Kiya’s feathers out and at one point they were both on the net and Yoshi went to Kiya so she jumped off and then Yoshi bit hold of her tail feathers and I had to get over to help Kiya. luckily she was fine...

Hey! I'm not sure if this is the right section to post, but I kinda need some help... I have had three feathered children, one girl and two boys, all cockatiels, for around two years now. For many reasons, I had to temporarily move in with my mother-in-law and her adorable cat, but that meant a...

I have two budgies male and female and they have been living together for about 2 years. They like each other and I see them kiss or preening each other. But sometimes they fight, it is not really violent or for a long period of time. Also when they are outside the cage they hang out mainly on...

I had my oldest karly since she was 4 months old, she’s now 1 and a half. I didn’t know birds could get over bonded with humans so I did everything with her. I was with her everyday most of the day and she loved it. I decided to get another cockatiel so she would be less bonded, the new...

I have 5 birds, two parakeets that live together, a Sun Conure and adopted Jenday Conure, and an African Grey that I’m currently fostering. My Jenday, Marvin, started out as a foster in June and we officially adopted him a few weeks ago. I’ve had my Sun Conure, Stevie, for about two years and...

So I have a cockatiel for years but he never really trusted me. He does trust me when i feed him stuff but he would never sit on my finger or let me get near otherwise with my hands. He was always alone for years after my other cockatiel died (they never really got along either but that one was...

I was given two canaries (one female and one male) by my cousin who could not care for them anymore and I've had them for about a year and a half. In April, the female canary had to be taken to the vet to have her leg band removed because it was constricting her. I had kept her in a separate...

Hi guys, I got my budgies several days ago and probably made a mistake on buying two young males. One is 1 year old and another one is 3-month old. They used to live together with several other budgies and according to their previous owner, they were fine together. So now they are alone with me...
