Mommy and baby fighting
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 12:22 am
Hi everyone, I'm curious to know..
My female of almost 6 years raised a foster baby this year succesfully.. the baby is not 4 months old and independant. I decided to keep the babe for company for the female-- desperately hoping its a male...
But now, I've noticed some aggression between the 2 birdies and its seems that the baby is the dominant one-- my bird are all tame and baby is just as tame-- My female raised the baby but i had interaction with the chick from a very very young age..
When will it be nessesary to split the 2 birds--- ? or should i leave them to rank it out? i dont want my older female to be threatened or get injured...
Has anyone kept a youngster and a baby together after the weaning process or is it normal for them to be a little bit aggresive?
Ive never had 2 birdies... together in the same cage and not sure what the behaviour means?
Any tips?
Thank you
