Hi everyone! ...So i posted this in another forum but wanted to increase my odds of hearing good feedback so would LOVE to hear back from the AA crew!
Okay so I guess I better give some background. I adopted my birds almost 6 months ago. I have a male indian ringneck parakeet (about 2.5 years old) and a sun conure (sex unknown..was presumed to be male..possibly a little older maybe 3 years old). The lady at the rescue said that they had grown up together, were bonded, and had always shared a cage (it's a large cage no worries with space!)
. They are very cordial with each other --groom daily, share food and water, and snuggle together at night...sure there is occasional bickering but nothing to be worried about aggressive-wise. Anyway, recently i've been noticing my IRN male being very "forward" with my sun conure. He's gotten to the point where sometimes he tries to mount my sun conure. (!?) Now I know that they are 2 different species and cant copulate. But...should I be concerned about this behavior? My IRN had gotten his ring about 2 months ago....is it maybe just a big hormonal wave coming through that may go away? He's always trying to get my sun's behavior displaying the usual IRN heart shaped body form with eyes pinning and making clicking noises. Yesterday I saw them regurging. Maybe my sun conure is a girl afterall.. He/she doesnt seem to mind at all (has always been the snuggly type).
All i wanted was some advice or insight? It's just very awkward and weird to me right now...
