Joolesgreyuk Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 There is good news and bad... The good is that Argyle is getting used to us, biting much less and when he does it's not as painful :ohmy: also today he let me do head scratches, closing his eyes whilst enjoying the pleasure :laugh: The bad news is that Argyle & Beau aren't exactly hitting it off. Today whilst they were out together whoever Argyle landed on, Beau decided he was having none of it and was dive-bombing him, they kept flying at each other almost colliding in mid-air at one stage and both crash landing in various parts of the rooms. We put Beau back in his cage and Argyle insisted on landing on top of Beau's cage rather than his own, even after covering the top with a blanket, Argyle then did his best to crawl underneath and then of course Beau tried to peck at him - not good and not easy keeping them apart. Seperate outings then I guess <br><br>Post edited by: Joolesgreyuk, at: 2009/09/07 20:47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Oh no! I suppose it's early days Julie - they'll just have to be told like my two nieces "to share"!!! Obviously Beau's had all your attention for the past five months and this "thing" has invaded - looks like Arglye is definitely finding his feet!!!

casper Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I hope things settle down Julie. Beau maybe feeling jelous at the moment or maybe they wont get along, I really hope they will though. You know my situation, two birds that get on, two that dont. I seperate them as much as I can now and always supervise them. Fingers crossed it will get slightly easier for you:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thats great that Argyle is biting less but give it more time for things to settle down between Beau and Argyle, it is still early in their relationship and maybe they need more time to establish their relationship, I'm betting they will calm down soon and at least tolerate each other.

Luvparrots Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I do hope your two fids can learn to tolerate each other. It is still early so don't give up hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That s scary when you see that type of action. Since both are flighted, each can get away from the other. As Judy said, they will work out this on their own with your supervision to ensure no one gets hurt. It took a while for our Grey and Conure to work out a semi-relationship. But, the smaller bird can fly away swiftly and turn faster than the Grey to stay away from harms way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It is early days yet,I guess it could go either way.How about letting them out together of an evening as it is going dark and they are getting sleepy,that may help them become a bit more settled till they get aquainted better.
