agressive lutino rejects company
my lutino and powder blue ringnecks share a divided cage. upon removing a panel of the divider, the male ( Baby) introduced himself to Sophie and immediately she became very agressive. is that natural at first? he made a hasty retreat to his side of the cage, and i closed up the divider. now neigher of them sing, whistle or do much of anything. Is there hope for either of them or should I seek a new mate for Baby?

What are you using them for. A companion for eternity, Or
just as breeding things? If you choose them as companions
(Pets), Then you should have them in different rooms for now.
As time goes by & you've showed them attention then let them
hangout together but not in the same cage. Maybe on top of
one others cage or on the floor..
Goodluck

I don't breed and I 'm no where near an expert on parrots.
Here's my 2 cents from what I've read about ringnecks and parrots in general so far:
Parrots can be pretty territorial. The females of the ringnecks can be aggressive. That divider you had was just enough for each bird to have their spaces and they knew that.
I would recommend introducing them on neutral territory, in a whole other room neither bird is familiar with. I also recommend you house them in separate rooms and separate cages. That way, neither bird feels intruded upon.
Good luck! Hope I helped. Let us know how it turns out.
