bonded pair

Hello! Yesterday, I adopted two bonded lovebirds, and I'm currently working on helping them feel comfortable with me and settle into their new home. I initially had them in a separate room, but this morning I moved them to the living room to get them used to our presence. In the other room, they...

I have a female cockatiel and a male cockatiel. They seem to want to be together, but the male is a bit bossy; serenading her with songs, following her around, head banging on everything, including sometimes the back of her head. Is this ok? She has leaned forward and softly cheeped mating...

My husband and I got my blue front Amazon which has taken to me and not him. We have since got a double yellow head which is more friendly with him. He attacks me even if I'm just walking through the house he will chase me on the floor and try to bite me (and has). For some reason he has bonded...

I think Winston might like Sunbeam... I don't know why as she clearly doesn't return his attention, well, not in the same way. She regularly harases him for no reason. She doesn't care about Em, but will sometimes seek out Winston to chase him around. Even after all that Winston will watch her...

Hello everyone! I recently rescued 2 lovebirds (female) which were hand tamed as young birds and then left in their cage ignored by their previous owner. I will assume that because of the neglet from the previous owner made the lovebirds bond with each other stronger. Based on suggestions...

I have these two bonded blue fronted amazons and they're both overprotective of each other. I can't change their food or water without them lunging at me. They both currently live in the same giant cage and I was thinking about separating them. I can't work with both of them at the same time...

Hello fellow bird owners, In March 2020 I got two bonded parrotlets (blue, male, born 2017 and lady, female, born 2019). They are a two beautiful, sweet, little birds and I love them dearly, but it’s been 8 months and they still don’t want to be touched. I read to them, I sing to them, I have...

Hello! My name is nori and I joined avian avenue today ^_^ I do have experience with birds, I have a cockatiel who is 3 years old and a pair of IRNS who are approximately 1.5 years old. I got my IRNS (male and female) when they were six months old from someone who bought them but only kept...

Hello fellow tiel owners! I think I could use some help. My boyfriend and I already have some expierence with cockatiels and we do bird rescuing. However we took home single cockatiels before and things were easier, but this time we took a bonded couple - male and female (1 year old and 1,5 year...

Hello everyone! I have one bird now, a male GCC that is 2 1/2 years old. I've been contemplating getting an additional bird and now that I'm getting closer and closer to graduating from university I'm considering it harder. I plan on going to medical school, but that would result in him getting...

I have taken in a bonded budgie and lovebird. They both feed eachother and are like two peas in a pod. They are in a large flight cage at the momment. But I’m still concerned about the fact that love birds should not be housed with budgies because of saftey reasons. On the other hand I’ve also...

Hey all! I've decided to purchase two GCC siblings who are really close to each other. They are handled daily by the breeder and her husband and I'm told they are very sweet, but after reading about bonded GCCs becoming intolerant of their owners, I'm getting worried. Any suggestions for how to...

Our unrelated mixed sex Parrotlet pair Popo and Izi are very tightly bonded. They are health-cleared rescues, and their previous owner said they don’t breed successfully. She suspected the female is infertile. My question is, is it safe to leave them together? From what I’m reading...

Hello! I'm new to this forum so I hope I'm posting this in the right place, but I have two ringnecks parakeets, a white and a yellow one, in need of a good home. I adopted then from an animal shelter that was going to euthanize them if no one took them, and really only took them to keep them...

I have a 2 1/2 yr old male B&G and a 2 yr old male Scarlett. Up until a couple weeks ago they’ve both always been bonded to me. The B&G recently became aggressive towards me anytime I go near the Scarlett. I took him to the vet a couple days ago and was told that he’s matured and is now sexually...

As some of you already know I have three budgies. The older two (Jersey (female) and Manny (male)) were already bonded when I brought Happy (male) home (quarantined him, let them meet, added him to the flock - the whole nine yards). At first there seemed to be a problem between Jersey and Happy...
