Pair of pet birds had been fine cohabitating in a single cage, until … .
I have two parakeets, one male and one female, who have lived together in the same large cage for approximately 7 years. They were a gift from my children.
Lately, however, she has increased her attacks and his little face has looked bruised, brown and injured. So, I made the decision to house them in separate cages, since I doubted she would return to being civil with him, and I felt badly that he was being battered. They remain in the same room together, and can see and hear each other every day.
Is it best to keep them separated indefinitely, or is it possible, or even wise, for them to be reunited in the same cage?You made the right choice in putting them in separate cages. Parakeets are social birds, meaning they enjoy the interaction with other parakeets and their humans as well, but living in the same cage might not be possible.Why the female has become aggressive toward the male has many possibilities.
The birds appear happy with their new living arrangements, and that’s the most important thing. If you want to try reuniting them, get a much larger cage so they will have their space, and be sure to provide multiple feeding and play areas to avoid territorial disagreements.All of the birds I know drink by taking a beakful and tipping their heads back to pour it down, except the mourning dove that sucks it up like a horse.
