Give them multiple food sources and seed dishes. Do they need a bigger cage, meaning are their fights territorial? Are there an uneven number of birds, so they fight over pairings? If you have three birds, they will fight over who pairs with whom. Are the fighting over breeding positions/nest boxes? Do not colony breed - simple as that. What are they fighting over? What is your set up like? Link to comment

Good Luck Clearwing Link to comment
