Sometimes my parakeets fight and sometimes they preen each other and be nice to each other?

Question

what does this mean?? one parakeet is a boy and another is a girl

Answer 1

sounds like a typical married couple. LOL  I have had keets but never any problem so far as really hurting each other. I can't be sure in your case, but when you purchase them they always have many together.

Answer 2

birds seem to do this in a new home just let them adapt they might stop they might not if they take action get another cage and move the other into it you dont want a dead bird!Or they are probally mating.just remeber to give them atleast and hour with you a day and plenty of toys and they be happy birds , good luck

Answer 3

Because they are of the opposite s*x, it's not a territorial issue, usually it is due to playing too rough. kind of like brothers do, they play and sometimes it gets a little out of hand.  It's not that they are trying to hurt each other, they just get a little rough.

Answer 4

Sounds like you have got yourself a pair of either peached face or masked lovebirds.These birds are very territorial but at the same time can be quite affectionate to one another.

Answer 5

Parrots have dynamic social flock antics, and that is what is being displayed, here.  My pair love eachother greatly, but there are times when it gets so bad that I have to seperate cages & send them to marriage counseling.

Answer 6

i also have that problem with my parakeet i wanted to separate them but when i saw them preening each other i would say oh no they are ok. they finally ended having babies, but maybe if ur fights start getting more aggressive i would change them right away, but if they keep like u say they are doing maybe it typical like us the humans sometimes we fight and sometimes we love each other
