Question
hi im new to this i recently bought a girl budgie and decided to get another one for her as a wee friend i got a male white one but when i put the male in the cage the female one kept pecking at it like biting it the male just sits there and doesnt do anything ??
do you think this is normal what should i do ?????????????
Hello Donna. Leave them together for a few days. Pecking and nipping for the first day or so is normal, they will soon become bonded to one another. They are just not sure about each other right now. Watch for them fighting to fiercly. (i.e. bleeding, CONSTANTLY chasing around the cage not stop, biting one another and keeping a hold.)
I'm sure with time they will become accustomed to one another. Hope I helped Donna!

Expertise
I can answer questions on breeding, illness, housing, diet, color mutations, genetics, and many others. I find budgies to be one of the most wonderful bird species to own as a pet. If I do not know the answer to you question, which is indeed a rare event, I will do my best to research and find the best answer to your question. I have dedicated my life to budgies and now I'm prepared to give back and help the community with their budgies as well. These birds are so wonderful there is an endless amount of information to know about them. I learn new things from budgies every day that I spend with them. If you have a question, please do not hesitate to ask. You will not be disappointed with the feedback.
