Hi everyone!
I am new to forums so forgive me if I am doing anything incorrectly. I'm seeking out the help of fellow bird lovers because of an issue I have. So I have a sweet old man lovebird (he is about 12 y.o) and a very energetic 2 year old lovebird (also male). We adopted him after the previous female lovebird we had passed away (she was in a couple with the older one).
Now the youngin has always been energetic and would often bug the older one that prefers to rest a lot and not play as much.
The issue is the younger one has been more territorial and aggressive. Wherever the older one perches, the younger one will go to his spot and.. Not bite him but sort of charge with his beak and the older one will fly to a different spot. It's really frustrating. Eventually they will perch near each other and rest together. It's not always like this but often enough that it's very hard to deal with. I'm not sure what to do. For more context, they both spend all day outside the cage. They're only caged at sleep time.
Any and all advice is appreciated
