October 16, 200618 yr If you could find one that is as long as it is tall you will be doing good. It is hard to find those. Good luck.
October 18, 200618 yr Author Well I got very surprised today, I went to the pet store and they had a long budgie cage. It is about 30 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 18 inches tall. Is this large enough for my two budgies? And I am thinking it is too small to breed in right?
November 5, 200618 yr That sounds opposite of what usually happens, as the female is the aggressive bird in a pair. Fighting for perching spots and over food is a hen behavior. Most hens do not willingly give up anything without a squabble, especially not to the male of the species. It is possible you are confused about the gender of one or both birds. If you are sure of the sexes of your birds, and know the male is the aggressor, I would start by adding food cups to the cage, and making sure there is more than one high perch for them to choose from. Then monitor your hen, as she may be ill and the male may be taking advantage of that situation. On second thought, if the hen is that passive I would seperate them now and monitor her behavior over the next day or so for illness. Better safe than sorry. Hopefully she is not sick. Rainbow Wrong! :excl:

Rainbow Wrong! :excl: No, Rainbow not wrong. The budgie hen is the most aggressive out of the pair. Or is it something else you don't agree with? What exactly do you find wrong?
