Hello I'm Jonk I have 3 budgie boys atm & I need help with one of them named Bananas
In September last year Bananas lost his mate Peaches to egg binding. The vet couldnt help her as we have no avian vets in my state & Peaches was short one time.
Since she past away Bananas has been sad but not to the point of not eating or drinking. He still is fairly active & tries to play with the other 2 male budgies I have Apples & Mangos who are semi bonded but they do bully him sometimes.
I never bonded with Bananas as he was a companion for Peaches while I was away working I basically got him so Peaches wouldnt feel lonely with me away at work.
Since Peaches past I've been trying to bond with Bananas but he isnt to fond of me unless I have food, he also stopped coming out of the cage to fly since Peaches past away.
Im wondering if anyone has any tips or advice to get him to open up or atleast come out of his cage to fly. I also wanted to know if it would be a good idea to separate Bananas into a different cage & sit him next to me rather then have him in a cage with the other 2 semi bonded budgies.
I will be getting another budgie so Bananas can have a friend again & not feel as lonely but I would like to bond with him first.
Any advice is welcome
Also thought I'd add a photo of my 3 boys
