we have tried to get her to be in the same cage as the male but she is so aggressive,she scares the male bird and last time we tried it,it got so bad the male bird was pulling his feathers out from the stress of her chasing him.
she does get on with him at times and they have been doing a mating dance for years but nothing has happened even when we added a nesting box.she likes to be scratched under her beak by only certain people in our family and she just snaps at everyone else.
we used to have toys in her cage,but she destroyed those too.she has even eaten through perches.i have owned both birds for about 5 years now.
i don't know what to do about her destructive habbits in her cage.a couple of years ago,both birds were destroying things in the house like ceiling fans and so on when they had their free time out of the cages.
if anybody has got any ideas on what we can do to sort this problem out,i would appreciate it.thanks.
That would be so funny!
It was very distressing for us, but nevertheless we were lucky to come across another breeder that had a female violet ready to go. So we took the plunge and drove the 2 hours to Perth to pick her up. The only potential problem with Pepper is that she hasn't been hand-reared, so we've got our work cut out for us there!
He has REALLY had his nose put out of joint!! Who would have thought in such a short time, that he would have bonded with us to the point where he see's another bird as a threat to his position in the household?? Most of the time he sits in his cage sulking, with his back to her at all possible times, although he has a couple of times had a go at her through the bars of her cage, but it appears to be more bluffing than actually trying to bite her, (showing his dominance?) Despite his bad behaviour toward her, all Pepper wants to do is get as close to him as possible! 
I'll be purchasing some more versatile perches today so that she can sit more comfortably in the places she wants to be.
