Male?
H,iWe can not see bird on the left cere as it is in a shadow. I have two cocks,Sunny Sky, and Apollo who are great friends and play and preen each other but are still able to function as males. Sky has 2 healthy clutches and he is very attentive to his hen as well. He loves to play with Apollo and his younger brother and the hen. They bump noses and feed each other and groom each other as well as cuddle together to sleep. This is very normal flock behavior in a happy flock that has no major conflicts. we work really hard to head this type of behavior off before it is a bloody battle, by changing the decor, or adding food/water/treat dishes or play stations with Kabobs or manu rose or millet spray. We allow one millet spray per 2 birds and the same for other items except the spinach, millet, grass seed, biscuit ring which can easily accommodate 3 to 4 budgies at a time. As long as there are more than enough food/water sources our guys are fine till lights out when no matter what there is a little squabble or two. We have a long rope perch all across the back or side of each flight/indoor cage. With more than enough room as well as swings. If it gets too frisky put the birds in separate cages placed right next to each other. Depending on age there may be a hormone rush as a young bird experiences first realization of sexual maturity. most budgies go through this smoothly, but especially if there is an odd number of hens in the cage with the males , there can be a rumpus Or even deciding who is the Alfa bird in the flock. We usually have separate flights for cocks and hens, with a few exceptions.Blessings, Jo Ann:Love birds:
