Just curious, would it be okay to have 2 girls an a boy or 2 boys and girl in a cage together? of would they just fight?

:ausb: Depends on the size of the cage and the dispositions of the birds. :bluebudgie:

Best to have 2 boys and a girl. Girls like to fight over boys.

I thought it would be more likely that the 2 boys would fight over a girl

I believe it the cage is big enough and NO nest box is introduced they should be okay. You can PM Rainbow she had a boy/girl combination and could let you know probably better then I because I have 2 boys.

the only times I've had trouble with boys and girls in the same cage was when two girls were fighting for one boy and a little patch on the aviary floor for a nesting site!!! I haven't had any problem with budgies indoor in smaller cages at all..

so either combonation would be okay? providing the cage was big enough and so on?

yes

yep, absolutely.

I have six in one cage. 3 boys and 3 girls and they still bicker over who belongs to whom! (Laughing out loud) Budgies seem to be an "all mine" kind of species, whether it is toys, perches or mates!

I had 2 boys and a girl and it worked out fine. I prefer even numbers, that way no one is left out.

i had 5 boys and 1 girl and they were all fine together, and the female loved all the attention.

Sco-tie

At one time I had 5 males and 6 hens. The only fighting I experienced was between 3 males, and it was not over a female, it was over 1 of the males. If at all possible I would try to keep an even number of birds ( just what you needed, an excuse to get another one right? ) because one bird will invariably get left out or picked on, and not necessarily the odd male (or female). If you must stay with three, I would get 2 males and 1 female, and keep the two males in a cage together and give the female her own space. I have 4 females right now, and can tell you that females really, really need more "personal space". I think 2 females and 1 male would invariably end up with more bickering than you want to listen to.
