Hey there 
So I have a 3 & a half year old Indian Ringneck Parrot (Pebbles) who I love to death. I currently am living at home with my parents and older sister who also has two birds: a 5 year old budgie called Angel and a 1 year old Quaker parrot called Sweatpea. All three are flighted as of November 2023 (Sweetpeas wings were unfortunately clipped by the breeder).
Now Angel is not a problem she mostly keeps to herself and spends most of her time with my sister. Now Pebbles does not really care about the other two and doesn't seek them out. That said its clear to me that he doesn't like other birds but is only aggressive if provoked. He is not much of a fan of my family but tolerates them and is very much my bird. Sweetpea does not like male humans so my Dad and I are not on the favorites list and tolerates my Mum and other Sister. The past year he hasn't been able to fly due to the breeder clipping his wings. He has been watching Pebbles flying and as I let him out for most of the day he has seen where all the landing spots are. Pebbles generally flies to two places: the stand at my desk and the top of his enclosure. He flies to me quite often when I am in the kitchen but other than that he doesn't really have many other places he likes to go on his own. Sweatpea since being able to fly has constantly flown to the stand on my desk as well as too the top of Pebbles enclosure.
As I do not particularly want to be bitten by Sweetpea I call my sister to come get her bird which generally she already is cause she only takes him out if she is spending time with him. That said there have been multiple occasion where Sweetpea has searched for Pebbles or "happened to land in the same place as him" and fights have broken out. Just this evening Pebbles was sitting at the top of his stand and Sweetpea attempted to land on top of him all the while opening his beak at him. Pebbles does reciprocate which I am not happy about and generally results in a time out which is what my sister is doing as well. My sister does want to get a stand for on her desk so that Sweetpea will stop going to mine but my parents don't want her to.
Now obviously they are different species of birds and its not natural for them to get along but is there any way in which we can get things to get better?
