Re: How to select a budgie to be a pal to current budgie?
Posted by jill on 4/27/06

diana,
is this a pic of the stand offish budgie? if so, there is
part of the problem as this bird is a female NOT a male.
females tend to be broody and moody a good deal of the time.
she might be nervous when left alone as most keets are when
accustom to being kept with others regularly. as far as your
other two go....do they have brown cere's as well? if so
they also are female. it isn't uncommon for two birds (same
sex if none of the oppisite sex are available) to pair up.
the third then does get left out. if you were to purchase a
male for this female...she would likely hack at him. this to
is normal. but she would likely make friends with him
eventually.....beware as keets grow on you! i started just
the way you are right now and now i have 26 adult keets!!!
lolololololol hope this helps, jill
