Hello
first of all, thank you for this website,
I was gifted a budgie a couple months ago and fell in love with it instantly, and after realizing how cheap they are, I couldn't wait to get more and more so that they could acompany one another and become a huge family, etc. I had no idea that I'm suppose to keep one and train/tame the little guy and allow for some time to pass before getting new ones. In fact, prior to getting #2 and #3, when it was just Mooshie and I, she wasn't so bad. She seemingly was less and less afraid of my hand, and would eat from my hand a couple times, and at night when I tell her to go to her cage and point to it, she would put her head down and walk on right into the cage like a good student! but once I got her brothers for her, everything changed. She's a bit larger than they are and I think older by a few months, (the two new ones were so small when I got them) and so she bosses them around on every single occasion. I mean I'm basicly fround upon by her and when I get close she tells them to close their eyes and pretend they're sleeping. they wont eat from my hand, they won't go to the cage when I tell them to. Sometimes one of the new guys would get a little close to me to sit on my hand or eat, but before he gets too close she would scream on him super loud and they back off and basicly this is getting worse it seems. I don't want to get rid of any of them, what can I do?
