I have a male and female budgie, and I want to get another one. Should the new bird be female or male? ?

Question

I want the birds to get along because my male and female don't. Is it better to get another female or male?

Answer 1

Get a Female, as males are territorial. If you got another male budgie he would become jealous or lonely if the current two budgies you have are in love with each other, or have established a bond already.

The new male would most likely start fighting and you would have to wind up buying another cage to separate him from the other two.

Its best if you get a Female Budgie. Good Luck with that.

Answer 2

i agree with every one else get a female:) Soon you will have babys :) Good luck

Answer 3

I would like to know why you want three. If two females get pregnant you will have too many babies to care for. If there are two males, they may not like each other, but they may drive the one female crazy. I would think you'd be better off with just two, unless you don't keep them all in the same cage. Perhaps another cage, and then you could get another pair of birds? I hope your budgies make you smile. They are great pets.  

Answer 4

Females will fight to the death other females but males will not. And to make it easier on all 3 of them house the new bird in another cage for a few weeks so they can get to know the new bird and there will be less fights between them. Although males are not known to be fighters it is usually the females who fight each other. I have been raising them for 20 yrs now and know how the females fight to the death.

Answer 5

A female because the males will fight [often till death] for the females attention and praise.

Hope I helped, X.

Answer 6

I think female.  Males can be territorial.

Answer 7

Female, start a little birdy harem.

Answer 8

Neither, you should not keep three budgies in the same cage because they would fight, you should get a pair if you want. If the new pair and the old pair are fighting you should keep them in separate cages.And by the way you should have a big cage if you plan to keep two pairs in it.

Answer 9

anuva female i guess otherwise the two male budgies will fight over the female

Answer 10

female the males will attack each other

Answer 11

female
