Hello,
I have just bought my hand-tamed peachface a companion. Wally (who is actually a girl we have since figured) has been my bird for the past 5 years and has always been in a cage by herself for that time. Over the last year or two I havent had as much time for poor old Wally like I used to so Wally has spent most of this time nesting on the bottom of her cage. One egg every two days for the last 6 weeks... usually it only last for 4 eggs but this time I have lost count!! So i decided to buy Wally a boyfriend. I bought this bird 3 days ago and put them in the same cage together but Wally does not seem interested in this bird at all. She chases it away and tries to bite it. But lucky the other bird still has its wings so he can get away with ease. I was wondering if Wally will bond with this other bird eventually?? I bought a new cage so Wally isnt familiar with it and it is mutual ground. I would really love for them to have some babies because Wally seems to love nesting. Any suggestions on how to handle this situation or have I gone about it in all the wrong ways???
Thanks :)
