Budgie And Cockatiel In Love

[felix 0]

Hi all. I have had cockatiels and budgies for quite a few years now but 1 of each of them has got me intrigued. They both have special 'needs' as I call them, as I saved Ozzie the budgie from decapitation and a chewed beak as a 2 week old and Preciuos the cockatiel had funny feet. They have spent a lot of time together inside and out but when in the avairy on opposite sides of the avairy, they pine for each other...so I ended up putting Precious in with the budgies so they are happy, as she doesn't like being in with the other cockatiels. They are both back inside together again as Ozzie the budgie has lost her ability to fly...no known reason so I thought it best if she was inside rather than out, and because of their love infactuation, I had to bring Precious the cockatiel in also:wub: . As well as having a great friendship, Ozzie the budgie is now feeding Precious the cockatiel. They are both females of different species...what do they hope to gain by this? They both eat well on their own so why is one female of one species feeding another female of another species? Ozzie is about 7 years old and Precious is about 5 years old...any thoughts from anyone? ...I don't know why this post says budgie hatchling, I didn't put that there...this is my first post so not sure what I did wrong there, was supposed to be under budgie behaviours...

HI, I guess it's just like a cat and dog forming a special friendship. You will notice at times same sex budgies feeding each other, not a problem just "flock" behaviour. As to your query about budgie hatchling it relates to amount of posts, as you have more posts you will become a mature budgie like Pride(next post under yours) or mine.silver wings(which I just noticed myself) cheers.

Hi Robyn...thanks for the reply..I am so glad you cleared up the 'budgie hatchling' comment...I feel really stupid now But as far as my question about my budgie feeding my cockatiel, you say that it is common in flock behaviour, but one is a budgie and the other a cockatiel...still seems strange to me, but I appreciate any feed back. I have tried putting a picture up but it comes up with a web link thingy, not something that I can click on to add a photo from my pc...I will keep trying though. thanks Robyn.

Follow my link in my signature to add a photo, you need to upload them to photobucket or something similar.

 

As to your budgie/cockatiel... it sounds lovely. I wouldn't be worried at all. It's great they have each other and such a special bond. Maybe they know the other is also 'special' and are therefor bonded somehow???

 

(((Sorry Robyn... was trying to do 2 things at once, which clearly I can not lol)

Here goes Robyn and Pride...I am attempting to upload a photo...hope it works...if it does, this is Ozzie the budgie and her girlfriend Precious...rarely apart. This was taken years ago but Ozzie wasn't feeding Precious then...">

One of my neighbour's cats was in love with my little daschund. Every day she'd come around and scratch on the flyscreen door to get him to come out and play chasings. They'd whiz around and around the perimeter of the house - first my dog chasing the cat for a few rounds, then they'd reverse and the cat would chase my dog.

 

When my gorgeous dog sadly died after being struck by a car, the little ginger cat would still come around tapping on the door to find him. It was heartbreaking.

I tried to fix your links but l could not. When you go onto your photobucket account, you want to click the white box, img code.
