Re: male aggressive behavior
Posted by Kitty.J on 3/31/06

Seems like they have not bonded yet. Have they been recently
paired together or have been together for a long time and in
the past they have shown love and compassion? Well my pairs
sometimes show a bit of annoyance with their significant
other half. But they love each other. Sometimes in the
molting season like (right now) birds need their space even
from their beloved human companions. My bird Kiki had a
horrible molt (so he seemed to tell me) he nipped and did
not want any love though I let him out of the cage he seemed
to be upset and he would just stair into the mirror toy I
have for him and wonder “I am still beautiful, right?” But
he is mostly out of his molt and he is gorgeous and he seems
to think so too. His attitude has changed and his love for
me is overwhelming, lol. Also if this pair of birds are not
in their molt and have showed aggression then they may not
be meant for eachother, just like humans, birds need to find
that special one and that male seems to think the female
following him around is just not for him. But a lot of times
in budgies that opinion changes as time goes on and they get
to know eachother. Also many times out of breeding season
the pairs may not show love for one another but I have not
seen that with my birds but I have heard it happens. And
what size cage are your birds in and how many perches and
are their toys? Birds do find “favorite” spots in their
cages, maybe your males has choses spots?
