Budgie Behavior Question

Posted

Is it normal for a male and female budgie to bicker and is there such thing as a peaking order for budgies?

Yes to both

 

All animals bicker even humans as I'm sure we've all noticed

About the pecking order, you will notice that one bird gets first access to food and such and in a pair this is usually the female who is the top bird

As she gets older will the pecking order change??

It doesn't matter what the pecking order is as long as they are not constantly fighting and hurting each other. The boy will probably be boss for now, but it may change later

if they are bickering a lot I would suggest having 2 feed bowls and water bowls, though it is normal to have a moderate amount if you are having it every moment then something needs to be changed like the cage set-up, how big it is etc...

 

Do you have a picture of your cage you can post here?
