hello everyone. i need some advice.
i have a friend who breeds lovebirds & sometimes i help him by hand feeding some babies.
up until now i always hand fed the babies in groups. these babies, never had issues seeing my birds.
this time i have 1 baby i'm planning to keep, he is just started trying dry food, so he is still very small.
now here is the problem, everytime my flock (4 lovebirds) comes near him (while he is in a cage), he is fluffing up and runs like a madman to attack them! i don't understand why!
he sees them a lot through the day, i put his cage near theirs, but as soon as they come to visit him (when they free roam) he turns into a little monster!
is he scared of them? is it because he is growing up alone? he is sweet with me and my husband. any tips to stop him from attacking?
thank you.
