I have a budgie and cockatiel which have been housed without any issues for a good while now.
my budgie became sick so I put him into another cage whilst he is recovering and hopefullygetting better.
I firstly had the budgie upstairs to keep him warmer and so he would have less stress but cockatiel was flock calling so much I had to bring him down and put cages side to side.
cockatiel is bonded with me but has occasional moody moments when having have to go back into the cage. Nothing really major.
since birds been separated and cages next to each other the cockatiel started lashing out and biting us when we get close to budgies cage or when I want to put him back to his own cage.
he proper flies at us and bites and flaps wings
as if he’s protecting the budgie. I do need to keep them separate as he’s also pecking and picking on budgie as he’s ill.
Any advice as I don’t know how to go about it and can’t allow cockatiel behaving like that and scaring the whole family.
please let me know what are my best options here.
