okay so I have spent a large % of today budgie watching and I noticed something that I have not seen before and I am freaking out that the might be fighting but then maybe I am just worrying for no reason.

 

 

I have a Cock and a Hen they are sitting and you can hear the Cock making quiet low pitched noises then he tried to make himself really tall and rushing along the branch towards the Hen and the look like they butt heads and she sticks her chest out and they do this over and over and over again. She does not run away from him, however I moved her off the branch and out of thw way the he started pacing the perch making the same noises and straching the back of his head with his feet and then she moved back on the perch and the whole thing starts again.

 

I worry that he is being mean to her and maybe I should split them out but then starts the whole cage storage cause of quarantine birds so I really need them to get along but maybe it's just me freaking out over nothing.

 

In other news Mozzie is find and now in the aviary and really happy.

I hope them getting their thing on would be perfferable to him ripping her head off! I might bring her in and put her in the hospital cage over night so I get some sleep tonight!

Its normal and very much a part of the mating ritual. You have nothing to fear. Some males just express themselves more than others

okay feeling a little better, none of my cocks have been that agressive towards the hens having gone from one or two birds at a time I now have a bunch (and I blame MB for this) so I am worried that they will all get along.

Not my fault you have no willpower

Yes it is cause all your birds are so pretty. I don't like Spangles but hello what did I walk home with the other night? And Cloud really is so pretty and bringing me around to the idea of spangels.......

If you don't want more birsd you should shouldn't read any of my posts from now on then cause I do tend to breed spangles, and don't forget Ozzie is a df spangle so he will be having little spangle babies soon too

and i so have not put my hand up for one of them. That is my exception an ozzie baby even if he is not blue!

Hmmm... I think some Ozzie snaps are in order, might get on that now...stay tuned

Yeah, I was thinking that too. My two (male) budgies sometimes do that and are always hitting each others beaks! One of them also likes courting the mirror.

it looked really agressive but I went and checked on them before and to turn the lights off and he was feeding her so I can sleep tonight and not worry so much
