1sydneybird Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I once had a pair of cordon bleu finches, and remember their mating dance. I was watching Sydney (male TAG do not have a female) and thought,OMG!!! Sydney ripped apart one of his toys to get the sisal rope out, and shredded it into a ball...then carried it around the cage looking for a place to put it!!! Is this why when he is around Roxy (also male) he lets Roxy preen him until feathers are pulled out, and gets aggressive with me??? He HAS done a little dance for me, as well as regurgitated. ACK!!!!! Is this my "lightbulb moment"??? haha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingles Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm not sure! But good luck with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Tearing a toy to shreds is normal and so is letting another bird preen them. It has nothing to do with a mating dance. Here is a short video of a definite mating dance with a Grey getting a little "HoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sydneybird Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 OH, I watched that earlier this morning!! Syd does do that also with me. Ive decided that when Syd is out, that I cover Roxys cage until I figure out what to do next. His aggression towards me when he is near Roxy is unacceptable to me.
