dose Semsem hate her that much!!!

[soliel]

well semsem is the male budgie "classic blue cere" active and noisy
his female mate flew a way 21 days ago and she was mature with brown cere color
so I brought him a new friend supposing it is a female lutinos so
first they screamed for each other and everyone was trying to reach the other through their cages
so
I put them together
then
he started to feed her that was pretty
and then
he started to care for her feathers bringing her his favorite food "lutice"
I can't say if she returned the favor
but suddenly
they started fight _i am not sure - but he was trying to nip her with peak and she avoiding him and he bite her feet a way from the branch i thought she lost balance for a while so i was frightened from their behavior and i separate them could some body tell me what is going on with both of them and is he really rejecting himne

hello again
I was wondering if any body could help me to identify my budgie behavior is he really rejecting her or only a kind of play

When you get a new bird - NEVER put the new bird in the other bird's cage. They need to get acquainted outside of the cages. And the new bird MUST be housed in her own cage. Birds are very territorial. And, think of this: All that Semsem has in the whole world is his home - his cage. And he treasures that. It's HIS. Let the 2 birds interact in neutral territory - not in Semsem's cage. If one day Semsem invites the new bird into his home, let it be HIS decision - not yours. You will surely have disastrous consequences if you leave them together in Semsem's cage.

It's not Semsem's fault. It's your fault that Semsem is attacking the new bird, but I'm sure you had the best intentions. Just let Semsem have his own home. Also Semsem is probably grieving for the loss of his old friend. He needs time to grieve.

That is remarkable point of view ...I did not think about that
but what i have done was I introduced them through different cages but they screamed for each others and they tried to open the doors of their cages so I simply put them together .

When they scream for each other from different cages, you might try letting them play outside of their cages, not in the cage. That way they can get to know each other on neutral territory.

All of my birds have their own separate cages. Each has his own home that he can call his. And they all play outside the cages together. (only exception are my 2 sparrows share a cage, as do my 2 parrotlets). Here is a link to the thread I started on this subject:

I would like to allow them that but sadly till now I can't tame them and they still skittish at my handling whether cleaning the cage or putting food as i said before they allow me to feed them their favorite food without touching them .
