Hi everyone i have had a budgie named Sky for around 6 months now and I have recently adopted a new budgie. She is called Rainbow. I have had her around 2 and a half weeks now and have begun the bonding process with Sky. Sky has started to preen Rainbow in the mutual play area on her head I am a little worried about him being a bit rough but I am not leaving them alone at all. Sky opens his beak to Rainbow I am not entirely sure what this means as he kind of opens and closes his beak and stares at her. Rainbow is still very young so I will not be putting them together for several weeks yet just bonding them outside of their cages. Sky seems to have his head fluffed up every time he sees Sky but they are very sweet with each other. I have not witnessed any negative behaviour thus far. Hoping they will bond very happily together. At the time of recieving Rainbow I was not aware Sky was a boy as the breeder was adamant she was a girl.. but I believe the people on this site a lot more due to finding out this breeder may not be as caring as he says he is... in the picture of my budgies together they are in a cage I use for playtime it is not either of their cages as I know not to introduce them in their own cages. ![](https://s3.postimg.org/7ew040l1r/IMG_0776.png) ![](https://s3.postimg.org/mp0goy5xr/IMG_0778.png)

You are best off just allowing them to find their own level; it does sound as though things are going well, though. It is possible that your new young budgie is asking the older one to feed it. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) If either get rough with the other, they will generally have a noise-fest and work it out for themselves, but do supervise their together time still, until you are sure they are good together, all the time. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

So happy to say that Sky and Rainbow are the best of friends and now are in the same cage. Rainbow calls for Sky if I remove him individually and they love to play together on their swing. So cute! Thanks for all your help Hezz ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That's great news! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Generally, budgies are sociable souls, but sometimes things don't work out regardless of how much we might want it. These two will be firm friends in no time, hopefully. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
