I have two parakeets, they where only a few months old when we bought them, i have had them now only 5 years.?

Question

i thought they were male and female, (wrong) we learned they were both male, just the other day i thought it was time to try two more , so i bought two females i hope , . snice i added the two new brids , one of my brids as seemed to pair up with one that i bought , and my other brid as beenletf to the wayside and now i notice he has been bleeding on the tip of his nose, , why have the other brids left him , and the one brid he haas been with all these years wont now have anything to do with him, and will the other brids hurt him and make him bleed like that? should i move him? i dont want to do that ,thats been his home all these years, and the other new brid is all alone as well, they wont pair up .

the two new ones are still to young to tell if they are male or female, i dont want my brid to be hurt anymore, will the other brids stop hurtting him?

Answer 1

In short no. There isn't a cage on the face of the earth that is big enough for two pair of birds. One pair will want to be the dominant pair. They won't let the other birds eat or drink they pester them all the time. They will kill the other birds. Anything more than two pair. Three will work fine. I you got the new birds as babies do they have lines on their forehead all the way to the cere? The females are more than likely not old enough to breed. Also parakeets in the wild breed in colonies. The chatter helps them into breeding condition.
