Yes Budgies don't recognise each other as Brother sister or father daughter etc.

 

It is common for a father to attach his new son thinking he is a rival or even trying to mate with his daughter when she leaves the nest.

I remember when i was a kid we had 3 main budgies, cookie (a male) mrs Helena And sharpBeak (mrs Helenas and cookies daughter) and with one chop to the head sharpbeak killed mrs Helena :fear

Budgies are a vicious bird. Nice when tamed but ... Some are not so nice. I have just under 90 birds now and you must alway keep an eye on them.
