So I have a cockatiel for years but he never really trusted me. He does trust me when i feed him stuff but he would never sit on my finger or let me get near otherwise with my hands. He was always alone for years after my other cockatiel died (they never really got along either but that one was a tame one). So we thought it might be a good idea to get another bird. We both wanted something else so after some research about what can get along with a cockatiel and we came across with an agapornis.
So we have him for almost a week now. At first he started getting close to my cockatiel out of curiosity i presumed, but from the beginning my cockatiel started blowing and biting to my agapornis. This process repeated it self a few times. We thought they might like eachother after a while but now it doesn't look like curiosity anymore, it now seems like my agapornis is hunting my cockatiel. He knows he doesn't like him but keeps getting close and starting a fight, until my cockatiel retreats.
Getting my cockatiel in the cage was never a problem but since a love bird entered his domain it's almost impossible to get him back in.
This new bird is so curios and energetic I really started to like him and don't want to bring him back to the store but if this goes on I don't have much of a choice. Does anyone have any idea of what i can do.
Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language.
