Hey guys, I didn't know if putting this thread in Behavioral was right.
My Gcc Tom, is a real cuddler, so much so that he wants another bird to cuddle with too. He is sooo gentle with the budgies and has never hurt them, my two male budgies, Striga and Billy, love Tom especially, the both preen his tail and wings and flirt with him like mad. Tom only wants to sit right next to one of them, you know the way conures do, REALLY close, but the budgies are just being budgies, they don't do that, not even to each other.
My Quaker Tony is not exactly nice to the budgies, if they get to close he snaps at them, but he has learned to be pretty tolerable of them, even tries to talk 'budgie talk' with them lol.
My question is how should I go about trying to get my Quaker and Gcc to be friends? I feel like they would both benefit from the relationship if they would just try! I don't get them out at the same time, I'm afraid they may hurt each other, it has happened before, Tony bit one of Toms toes through the top of his cage. Now I just lay a thick quilt on top of Tonys cage so he can't go biting any toes.
Do you guys think it's possible?
