Hi everyone, I’ve decided to post on a forum about my question so I could get the best possible help. I have a two year old male Cockatiel, his name is Auggie. I’ve had him ever since he was a few months old so its safe to say me and him have a tight bond. I recently brought home another ‘tiel, a one year old male as well by the name Wiki. I went through the entire quarantine process and they both have their own cages. About a week ago I moved their cages next to each other so that they could see each other and communicate. Ever since then, Auggie my original ‘tiel has changed completely. Every time I come by to his cage he lunges at it with a hard bite, if I even try to pick him up he bites me, HARD! Its like he suddenly hates me, and this aggression is just upsetting me because i’m so confused on what I could’ve done wrong. I don’t punish him in any way, the most I do is tell him no and give him his room, but I want to be able to hold him and give him love again. My other ‘tiel, Wiki has been fantastic, no sign of aggression and he’s actually quiet the cuddle bug. My other concern is the amount of attention Auggie is giving towards Wiki, he watches every move he takes and if Wiki squaks, Auggie has to take the last word.
I’ve read that this could be that Auggie is jealous, that he sees me as his and he doesnt want to share. My plan originally was to move them into one cage but I’m scared for Auggies aggression towards me and possibly Wiki if they do come in contact with each other. What can I do, was it a mistake bringing home another ‘tiel? I want my boys to get along together and my oldest to get along with me already! Please help me with any sort of tips or tricks.
Thanks, Anna.
