1sydneybird Posted October 3, 2009 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!!
danmcq Posted October 3, 2009 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.
1sydneybird Posted October 3, 2009 Author 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.
