No idea if anyone has experience with this sort of bird dynamic but its worth a shot! We currently have 2 budgies (paired, in the same cage, and not hand tame) and a conure (lives solo and is hand tame). Since we got the conure last summer she's had a fascination with sitting on the budgies cage and bothering them, and up until a couple of weeks ago they were scared of her. Well now, one of our budgies has decided he is madly in love with Juno and chases her around from inside the cage. Juno loves the attention and they talk to each other and kiss through the bars. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this could affect the relationship the two budgies have with each other? I'm afraid one day our little blue guy will decide he doesn't want anything to do with his budgie girlfriend anymore. The other budgie doesn't seem to care yet, but I totally don't want Juno to become a homewrecker 😜

Oh man! I've never heard of that one! We have a hand raised GCC who is a total spoiled rotten brat and she LOVES to fly onto the other birds' aviaries and bother them. We have doves and budgies and take in a lot of rescues, so she's always got someone to try to bother! We have to take her off their cage and put her away for a couple minutes time out. Our GCC is different from yours in that she hasn't developed a love for our other birds...I think your budgie will be just fine keeping with his mate but also still getting along with your GCC. Budgies tend to be very loyal so I don't think you'll ever run into an issue with your budgies being friends :) It sounds like you're on your way to having all of them get along!
