Hey guys, so i have another problem. I have a jenday conure and a GCC, the Jenday is maybe 6-8 months old and the GCC is about 2 years old. The GC keeps fighting with the Jenday, he pecks at her and rips feathers out (not alot but still) and has attacked her eye twice but nothing serious.
Every time I witness them fighting and its always noodles (GCC) who starts it sometimes over literally nothing, I squirt him with a squirt bottle. A couple of months ago I had this same problem but noodles seemed to calm down but today I noticed Jendy's eye was hit. Again nothing serious enough to take her to the vet but it's not good.
Last time noodles hit her in her eye I took her to the vet because it was mildly swollen and I was afraid of infection I told them I had separated them and they told me unless it was some serious fighting I shouldn't because it would depress them. But I have to do something! I don't want to give one of them away for obvious reasons.
So what can I do to control their aggressiveness? Can I do anything? What punishment would be best when I see noodles fight her? I feel like I want to turn into a big as* bird and beat the crap out of noodles because Jendy is such a sweet innocent bird and I feel so bad for her. She is scared of noodles, not like stay away scared but when she has a treat or a toy she will drop it if noodles makes sudden movements towards her.
