Checking out the neighborhood
Hello All!
I am new to this forum and I need some advice on my Bourkes parakeets. I have 2
And they are a bonded pair. They have laid 2 clutches of eggs. 1 infertile and need to candle current clutch My female has not been sitting on her eggs. I kept hearing odd sounds(defensive sounds) from them and when I checked her today she is bald on her back from him pulling her feathers out. I seperated them and cages are right next to each other. I was in another forum and asked people about it. If I was doing the right thing by seperating them. My concern is that he would continue mating with her and hurt her. I believe they have been mating everyday. Has anyone else dealt with this before? I feel really bad seperating them. Thank you. Court'
