I have a question for all you people out there that have MBS... how does your IRN get along with your other birds?

Cause Indie is not very happy with Jasmine (goffin cockatoo) now being a resident. I have them separated in different rooms, after all there is a quarantine period right. But Indie sees her sometimes and goes nuts starts screaming at her, and has even tried to attack her. Is it possible for them to ever become friends or is my little IRN just a spoiled bully butt?

They may not end up friends, but they can become tolerant. And it will always need to be supervised time together. I have introduced a few of my birds to each other. Jordan and Pickle I trust together totally now, pickle was our handraised baby, so that was rather easy.

It will all depend on your bird and how you integrate them when its time.

Its almost time for me to integrate my quakers, and having them in a separate room, which is in the second living area off the kitchen means, I can bring jordan and pickle out to guage their reaction. I did this a few days ago, they were not close to the quaker but could see them well and hear them. Jordan flew off like a maniac screaming, so I brought him back and again he did the same. Later that day I brought jordan out again. The next day I did the same with treats in my hand to distract him and he suddenly seemed to be inquisitive about the quaker, he started talking and responding to their sounds. So I sat down away from the cage but close enough they could see each other. I gave jordan a grape and we sat there a while. Well ... Billy our male quaker flew to the bottom of his cage and guess what he picked up, a grape he had dropped and wasnt interested in earlier and began to eat grape with us.

When it is time to introduce them properly I will move the cage to the entrance of the bird room for a few days and let them see and hear each other, its all a slow process, but well worth the effort.

Once they are integrated and all is settled, I will get them out for supervised time together.

I know billy and bell are a proven breeding pair, and some say I should leave them alone as a breeding pair, but billy is tame and I have had him out playing with me, and bell is getting tamer by the day also (she will never be really tame, but will be less frightened of us). My Indian Ringneck breeding pair are the same, Kai is tame and mickey is rather wild and they still produced beautiful babies for us last season, from their cage inside the bird room.

Anyway sorry for the essay. To sum up; integrate them slowly when its time, but do not ever leave them out together unsupervised.

Yea really depends, my big old chook hates all other birds and gets really jealous if I have others out and not him, my love bird bubs will attack any other bird who tries to fly onto me, and will try and attack chook, it's kinda funny because they take over some birds will some won’t

When Jibby was a bub, we had a tiel. Jibby never got along with the tiel and would chase it up and down the stairs. He's also used to escape from his cage and kick the poor tiel out of his.

But now that Yoda is here, Jibby wouldnt dare do anything to annoy Yoda. Yoda is boss. Yoda tells Jibby off for everything.

Always supervise when out together.

One day I will have more birdies. But 2 is enough for now.

One day I left chook out and I came back to find that he was sleeping along with 4 other budgies in their cage it was nice to see

i think in this matter my rose is very jealous and spoiled birdie

coz few days ago my husband bought this really nicehand tamed cockutail from his friend as he didnt wanted it any longer
i thought i would not mind taking care of itBUT THE QUESTION WAS NOT OF ME NOT MINDING IT

IT WAS THE OH SO GREAT QUEEN ROSE ALLOWING THE POOR LITTLE GEESER TO BECOME A MEMBER OF HER FAMILY APPARENTLY

SHE CHASED HER OFF QUITE A FEW TIMES PLUS SHE JUST WOULD GET SOOO ANGRY WITH ALL HER FEATHERS UP WITH THIS WIERD NOISES AND TRY TO BITE HER TWO TIMES
ITS GOOD I WAS THERE
I JUST TOLD MY HUBBY
TO TAKE IT BACK I DONT WANT MY QUITE AND CALM LITTLE ANGEL TO BECOME A VOILENT MONSTER LURKING AROUND WHEN SHE CAN GET A CHANCE TO KILL BILLL

Mine refuses to get along with ANY other bird, even his own sister!

My Nigel doesn't play well with others; especially not my little ones. He tries to eat them. I have to watch my lovebird the closest because (she's actually tried to fly into a Macaw cage before!) she thinks that she can take him out and would definitely try. My other two (Parrotlet and Red Rump) leave him alone and are scared of him. They are never left unattended and I really can't have him out of his cage even if the others are in, because he tries to bite them through the cage. No friends for him. :)
