Question
Hi chrys, I bought 1 budgie that was a girl from the pet store, and my friend offered me two boy budgies, blue and green. One of my boy budgies has been trying to get my girl budgies attention( blue bird), and keeps pushing away the other boy bird( green bird) away. Can you help me and tell what to do in this case, if i should put the green bird in a separate cage or because my girl does not want to mate with my blue bird, but my girl bird is interested in my green bird that's being pushed away from the blue bird and.... just very confusing please help!!

Answer
Kathy - I'm sorry if I didn't answer your question to your satisfaction...I thought I answered your question.  If you can tell me what additional information you need, I can most likely help you further.

Hi, Kathy,

You need to put the 2 birds that are interested in each other in a cage by themselves and house the 3d bird in a cage of its own.

Expertise

I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.

Experience

Over 20 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.
