Budgie and Quaker problem

[Flame]

My new Budgie has been great but I want to put her in the environment with Alex, but Alex is territorial and trying to attack the Budgie. I put her with Kiwi and she has no problem with her. Is there any way I can get Alex used to her (Budgie)?

It is inadvisable to house parrots in the same cage, even ones who get along. Your birds each need their own cage. Yes, it is more costly to have to buy and difficult to find room for 3 cages instead of one but it is the right thing to do. Given the size difference between a budgie and quaker, if they ever decide to become friends, they shouldn't be caged together and should only be allowed to interact outside their cages under close supervision. It would be very easy for your quaker to cause serious harm to your budgie, even unintentionally.

Alex and Kiwi are together in a cage and I am thinking of seperating them. I just want the Budgie to get along with interaction. They are not being caged together.

Quakers can be pretty territorial, I'm sure you've experienced it! Tiels and budgies tend to get along well so that is probably why Kiwi is chill with your budgie - however, it may take some patience for Alex to get along with and/or accept a budgie (considering the nature of quakers, the size difference between the birds, etc.) Give it some time and patience. Let them hear each other and see each other in their different cages, and perhaps it is best to let them interact in a neutral space that is not near their cages. Good luck!
