Hello. I enjoy your Sunday post very much. I have a question. <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve one bird fully flighted 6 months old. I’ve a second bird less than six months old with clipped wings. It seems the fully flighted bird bullys the clipped bird. I house them separately and give them free flight separately.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you think once the clipped bird can fly they will be friends? Thanks so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Gloria<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you say they are budgies? Then no problem,\u00a0<\/span>99% of the time a budgie will choose to be with other birds, preferably another budgie, over anything else in its life.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the other bird is not a budgie or is even a macaw, they won’t care, they will still want to be with it. It would just be a big budgie in their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping Birds and Parrots Flighted<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In that situation, you must closely supervise, lest the bigger bird is annoyed by the budgie and bites it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes a mixed couple of birds will bond and become buddies, but not always.<\/span><\/p>\n

I recommend allowing them to spend time together now. Just watch them to make sure that one is not overly aggressive to the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds like they are close in age and that should be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best of luck<\/span><\/p>\n

Catherine<\/span><\/p>\n

They should be fast friends in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for answering.\u00a0 I love your posts as some questions I just don’t know who to ask, so thanks a million.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, both are budgies. One clipped and one full-flighted.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I will wait patiently for feathers to grow on clipped budgies and watch them closely in the meanwhile.\u00a0 Thanks again.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
