A problem with two buds 😔 need advice

[lemonora]

There are two males, one is over five years old (Fido) with liver issues and on MT, and the other is around 3 years old (Luka)
 they’ve been living together for the past 2-3 years, Luka was actually brought to keep Fido company, but sadly Luka is really bullying Fido, each has his own cage but they are out almost all day on the top of the cages with toys, perches,  food & a bath,
but Luka  keeps chasing Fido around, Luka has a very high libido and keeps humping the perch in his cage daily then goes after Fido and chases him around when Fido can barely fly, he’s always out of breath, no violence thankfully, but a lot of bullying and chasing and making him leave perches and food, we don’t know what to do, any suggestions?
They're at my friend’s and he doesn’t know what to do, he even thought of giving up Luka to a good home with a large flock and many many females 😄
but sadly here in Saudi Arabia it’s really hard to find good homes to adopt, not to mention how hard it is to do, it’s like giving away your child.
We really don’t know what to do, but we feel like we have to save Fido from Luka 
he’s really tiring him poor fella 

any kind of input would be greatly appreciated 
willing to try anything

Any way that they could have separate cages and each one could have flight time separately?

[ladybird]

You say they each have their own cages, as Marianne says let them out separately or have you already tried that? It would give Fido a rest from Luka.

[lemonora]

No actually we never thought about that
It’s definitely worth a try and I sure hope it works
I will tell my friend
Thanks for your suggestion
And I will keep you posted

I would definitely let them have time out separately and then a small amount of time out together.

Will do and let you know thanks 👍

An update:
He tried to do the separate time thing, but it failed terribly
The one inside kept hanging upside down and trying to get out while the other one won’t move from next to him trying to go in, it was sad and looked like torture
Also scared of feet bites
Any more suggestions 😔

Then I’d leave them be as there hasn’t been any aggression. If it becomes too much for Fido, he will most likely give him a bop, which is not a bad thing. The young fella needs to learn his place.
