Guest cranberry Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) I saw the strangest thing in the pet shop yesterday. 3 male budgies on the floor chasing each other and kissing each other. 2 of them seemed to be deeply in love and the third was jealous of the other 2. So he picked a fight and before you know it they were all rolling around on the floor wrestling each other. They then got up and started the kissing again. This was repeated over and over again. The lady from the shop said they had been doing it all week. Funny stuff. 2 of them were really big and strong ex breeder birds that were so nice so I bought them! I'm sure once I pair them up with a hen their "gay" behaviour will subside. Not that there's anything wrong with that. LOL! They are a dilute spangle green cock and a cinnamon grey cock.

Could it be cinnamon spangle ? Link to comment
Guest cranberry Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 He has very faint wing markings but not cinnamon. I'm probably wrong though. I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them. Link to comment
