Thanks for your interest in our blog. Unfortunately, captive parrots of just about every species may exhibit that type of behavior...so much changes by virtue of captivity that its very difficult to draw any parallels to what occurs in the wild. Sometimes putting the dominant bird into the newcomer’s cage helps, or establishing both birds in a new cage; setting this up in a different room, if available, may also be useful, but there are birds that just will not accept another under any circumstances. Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck and please keep me posted. Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello Alicia, Frank Indiviglio here.

I've tried three separate times to find a 'friend' for my budgie. It's such a pain in the butt that she won't accept anyone. Three months of quarantine, 3-4 weeks in a separate cage near hers... And without fail, when I'm finally able to introduce them, she has an absolute conniption. Luckily, I have a friend who has room for more than just one permanent cage. What do you do when you have such an unsociable bird? I’m curious as to what one does when the budgie in question attacks any other bird that you bring in?
