They dont kill and eat at the time of the fight, however every budgie in your aviary will; eat from a dead budgies carcassthey will eat the head, brain, face and peck at feet and chest. They also can become attached to you, or even their own reflection. Parakeets are rarely aggressive by nature: their burst of temper will come and go quickly. They may fight over food, and will often clash briefly over friends, toys or territory; but all of this is normal in parakeet society.
Is it large enough, or is there tension because of crowding? Taming one budgie is certainly easier than taming two, especially if they are in the same cage. Separate cages, put side by side, may help. Maybe just open the cage doors and let them come out on their own — put some treats on top of their cages, so they will want to come out. Mature male cockatiels often act obsessed with a person or object. When that object does not return their affection, the bird might turn on it in an aggressive manner.
Spotting aggression in a budgie may be tricky for beginners, as the birds are often hyperactive, vocal and socialising physically without being aggressive. Here are some tell-tale signs to look out for:. Try putting them in separate cages right next to each other. They should soon bond. If they don't then they are just incompatible. It's September 19th, and it looks like no one is answering any of these very interesting questions going back to March or earlier.
I'm on the verge of removing an aggressive parakeet now, and was hoping to see how others dealt with it. I have2males both 9 weeks from hatch in the same cage.
One of the birds is very loud squawking and dominant in bursts with the food. Can a female parakeet kill a male parakeet? Will 2 male budgies fight? If many male and female budgies live in the same cage, you may observe that there are more fights among birds of the same sex than there are among opposite sexes. Sometimes, more than one male can compete for the same female in a cage, leading to loud squawking and possibly pecking. Why do budgies attack each other? They will fight over food, and will often clash briefly over friends, toys or territory; but this is all a normal part of budgie society.
Ninety-nine percent of the time, this surface level of social aggression is to do with food, personal space or mating. If the feathers fly and one of your budgies terrorizes the other, keeping her from the food and water, the best action to take is getting them separate cages. Even if you have to invest in a brand-new play stand, it's worth it to keep skirmishes to a minimum or eliminate them altogether.
If your budgies just don't get along, you'll have to break up at least one fight, if not more, over the course of their little lives. It can be a tricky thing to stop a fight in progress, as you don't want to hurt either of your birds. Parakeet parents whose birds have a tendency to fight keep some useful tools handy for just such occasions. A can filled halfway with coins or pebbles can be used for shaking to make a sudden noise that might startle your birds apart. In "Parrots for Dummies," Nikki Moustaki recommends having a stick and a towel handy to break up a bird brawl.
Use the stick to gently drive them apart; wave the towel in an attempt to scare them into letting loose of each other. Once the fight has been stopped, gently and calmly pick your budgies up and return them to their separate cages for a time-out.
