2 green cheeked conures and 1 black capped
hello all.
i live with my 2 conures( Navi and Link ), and my mom’s quaker namd Pebbles. i would absolutely love to have all of the birds out at the same time, but the issue navi and link try to nip at pebbles, and pebbles does back, to the point of minor bites happening, so i can’t let them near eachother, and it breaks my heart, because it wasn’t always this way for pebbles.
i had another conure, Mango, who was so kind and friendly with everyone, and her and pebbles were friends..but very sadly, she passed away recently, and so pebbles basically lost a best friend. now, she has nobody other than me and my mom to hangout with, and it breaks my heart so
badly, because she’s so aggressive to my babies.
is there any way to salvage anything? i feel so bad for pebbles, i just see her watching me and my conures and i can feel her sadness. even typing this right now makes me tear up.
i had an idea of getting another bird, but if we do, im hoping we will be able to allow pebbles to meet it first..but we dont have a lot of room for another bird..
anything i can do? any advice would be appreciated 🙏🏻

Our little birds can grieve just like we do. Just give her more attention and hopefully she will come back around. Good Luck
 
I agree with the above. It hasn’t been too long since her friend’s passing and I would say it’s perfectly normal for her to not want to interact with the other birds at this point. There may come a time when she decides to engage with the other birds but that has to come at her own pace. I know it’s hard to see our birds struggling in any way and we instinctively want to fix it but sometimes, just like us, they just need some time.❤️
 
i completely agree as well, however..she’s so aggressive to them, to the point of my conures biting back

Just a thought try introducing link and navi one at a time. And see if you brakeup the team it might be different. I you may find out it's just one of them.
Just a thought.
 
that is a great idea, and we’ve actually tried it before! when we’ve tried with link, pebbles would panic and try to get away from him, but will try to lounge on top of navi and fight her ;(
