Jealous Indie

[Deleted]

Indie gets very worked up when other budgies interact with Yuki. He was fluttering his wings at Pippin when they were all inside the cage for around a minute before OH started recording them.
Usually he just chases the other bird away but he can't always move Pippin and gets like this instead.
It can be very annoying because when Munchy is with us Yuki likes to come and investigate, hut then Indie chases Munchy away, which leaves us without any budgies.
Yesterday we moved Indie and Pippin into another room for a bit just so that we could actually see Munchy and Yuki interact. They were very sweet together. It's a shame Indie doesn't like to share, despite the fact that he himself will get kissy with both Munchy and Pippin as well as with Yuki.

How rude!

I think they need a secluded corner for canoodling lol

Haha oh my! Indie sure is pushy! I’ve seen this on occasion with my buds but it’s never too persistent as Indie seems to be, always xD

Maybe separating Indie for short periods (with one of the other birds who is not Yuki) might be good for him over time xD

Maybe it would. It would give them all time to have peaceful interactions. Yuki prefers Indie, yet Indie seems almost paranoid that Yuki's going to go off with someone else.

We'll likely do it again with Indie and Pippin because it gives us time to play with Yuki whilst Munchy's around. Get to have some uninterrupted fun with the tamer two.

He’s so possessive, bless him. He likes to share his kisses about but doesn’t want Yuki doing the same. I love how they all have such different personalities. :-)

He's a right sausage! If they were humans such behaviour would be dreadful!
He is very well behaved with us though.
