I decided to first get one budgie, so it would be easier to tame and train it, but later on when he was tame I felt sad for him cause he was so lonely, so I brought another budgie, a female, into our home. Now, at the time I brought her in, my budgie showed symptoms of some sort of respiratory issue. I had to force feed him his medicine, and in doing so I started losing his trust. He wasn’t 100% tame when I brought the female budgie home and because of that, he’s chosing to bond with her instead. Eventually, my female budgie got infected too and I started losing her trust too. I don’t care if they’re tame or not, as long as they’re happy, but of course it would be nice to have great trustworthy bond with both of them. They’re currently kept in the same cage.
I was just wondering if anyone here has any tips on how to regain their trust again. Should I seperate them for now and bond with them individually or should I go for the hard way by trying to bond with both of them at the same time in the same cage? Would it be cruel to seperate them into different rooms or could I keep them in the same one? For the taming and training, I figured I’d just try all over again from the start. First trustbuilding, then stepping up, and then I’d like to go for clicker training. Feel free to give me any advice, experience or tips, as I’m completely lost on what I should be doing. I guess the timing was pretty bad
