Post: A new experience

Posted by Lance on 2/07/06

Okay here is one that I am perplexed by. Last summer I
purchased a "proven" pair of Meyers. I have had them here
now for over 6 months. They have always gotten along
wonderfully, they sleep right up next to each other, they
feed each other. I had attached a nest box about 2 months
ago and they had been working that. The other day I heard
a commotion and went out to find them fighting to the
death on the bottom of the cage. It took the water hose
to break them up. Since then they seem to be getting
along okay although they aren't as friendly as they were
before. Also the male's eye is all swollen shut and
pretty rough looking. Has anyone ever experienced
something like this and also any ideas for some sort of an
antibiotic treatment, etc that I could do without having
to catch the birds??

Thanks,
Lance
