Secondly, he has matured in the last year, so he could be becoming dominant. Birds, as with other animals raised within a family, often look at the family as their group. This might be best handled by giving your budgie a mate - preferably of the female type. Good luck! MEET MY PET! Hi It GiRL, These are my rabbits, Cottontail and Benjamin. They love…
