I'm a newbie here hoping to learn all that I can about my budgies. I have 2, a male named Kai and a female named Ruevi. Kai is the mostly white mixed with yellow with light blue on his chest and some turquoise blue on his wings and Ruevi is mostly blue. They groom each other feed each other and play together but here lately the female has become rather aggressive. She still will be nice but while they are grooming each other she'll suddenly attack him...is this normal behavior or is she turning against him? He is about 7-8 months old and she is 4-5 months old

Welcome. Female budgies are in most cases the boss. Sounds like you have a bonded pair because of the grooming. Do they also feed each other? Could be too that your male was grooming female at bit too rough and it hurt him. Hard to tell.

Hello and welcome! Your babies are beautiful
I also agree, if they preen each other etc they are bonded. Females are the bosses in the budgie world! Obviously you want to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t get out of hand, but everyone on here has said their females are always “in charge” of the males. Just like in the human world ;)
