Hi
I have 3 male budgies, all aged between 3 months to a year old. I started of with one budgie, then I got the second budgie. They got along pretty well grooming and preening at each other.
I introduced the third bird and the other 2 budgies (Sunny and Lorry) began pecking and bullying the new budgie (berry.
But by the next day Lorry had begun grooming Berry and tottaly ignoring Sunny.
Now Lorry scares Sunny to another perch, pecks him and sometimes scares Sunny of the perch.
The other day Lorry let Sunny groom him while they were out of the cage, but he doesn't when there in the cage.
There hasn't been any major fights but I'm worried about Sunny.
What should I do
