Hi, Iāve had my blue budgie for almost 6 years. He had a cage mate until last year when he passed in the night. Until recently, he has been alone and actually kind of happier without a cage mate. He has a large cage more suited for 3-4 budgies to himself.
A few days ago I got a lovely yellow budgie and have housed him in the travel cage and will only let them interact in the big cage when Iām around. So far my blue boy has been chittering, screaming, and pecking rather roughly at the newest. He wonāt let him near the food and refuses to share a perch. I thought it was a pecking order thing but Iām sad for my newest who genuinely seems to want to be friend with my blue boy.
I have recently ordered a larger cage for my newest to live in if things do not work out so my newest will not have to live in a smaller, travel cage.
Iām wondering if I should go and get another to live with him in the cage with him so he doesnāt feel lonely. Iām worried about his happiness. It hurts to see how much he is trying to bond with my older one and getting rebuffed.
What should I do?![Yellow2 :yellow2: :yellow2:](/img/parrotsmilie/yellow2.gif)
