Question
i have 4 budgies,2 girls 2boys, they all live in a big avery. one of the females have been fought over by the guys, one of the boys has now got a bad peck on his cere. i have put left the hurt guy aand desirable girl budgie in the avery and moveed the other two into a smaller cage. what can i do to try and make them get allong in the avery without them hurting or maybe even killing each other? thanx :)

Answer
Hello Mimi.
It would be wise to keep the budgies permanetly seperated. They will not get along, and they have shown that. THey will muich happier lives with just themselves and their mates. The other male, the more aggressive one will most likely slowly bond to the other female as he is the aviary alone with her for some time. Not all birds are the same, but most of the time they are usually friendly to one another, but this is not always the case.
Hope I helped!

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.
