pjbmom Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Fig and Chico my new grey has become buddies. I know you are suppose to wait to interact them but I have the vet records on Chico so I know he was healthy. Keeping Fig from Chico was like having 2 kids yelling for attention. So last week or so...I let Fig just do what he wanted with me in the room with Chico. He wanted his cage so bad for weeks I said ok and let me walk over to the cage. They did not fight! Fig walked around and inside the cage - saying Hey I am jealous this is bigger than my cage - lol he acted like this is great. Chico just stayed on top on the play stand. Then fig went up on stand and they kissed! Yes no beak fighting. So only 5-10 mins and I moved Chico and fig to his cage. Let them to this occassionaaly and now I don't have to worry about Fig he only goes to Chico's cage for a few mins then to his cage or to his play stand. However, Fig is very protective or jealous or both. He does not want me near Chico. He will run to me and try to get me when I want to get Chico to come to me. If Chico is on one stand and Fig goes to the other, he gets so upset. I do everything in twos but Fig doesnt get that yet and he is always first for everything. Do you think Fig is jealous,protective or both? Maybe I should of waited but I needed to bond with Chico, spend time with Fig and with limited time at nite it kinda of just happened to let them meet each other.
