Snowy's Cage

      Snowy’s Cage

 

Today for the third time, I introduced Snowy and Gwen. Snowy is Mrs. O’s cage mate. He hasn’t had a mate since Mrs. O passed on in March. He didn’t take readily to Gwen though. The first intro was brief, and filled with trepidation on my part. For a while, they hissed at each other, and Snowy a usually placid bird, tried to attack Gwen. Today it seemed to go better. Snow and Gwenny ignored each other for the most part. I still wouldn’t trust them together and plan to get her a new cage at Bird Jungle soon.

 

     We’re also not sure if Gwen is a male or female, which may account for some of the aggression on Snowy’s part. Ira the owner of Bird Jungle said that 2 males can get along in the same cage as long as they are not aggressive. Snowy is usually the sweetest, calmest and most placid bird. So we can’t seem to figure out what’s causing his aggression towards Gwen. We have another male cockatiel named Stormy who is just in love with her. Can you figure it out? Well, I’d say they got a long pretty much today and ignored each other, but I still wouldn’t trust them together. Well, Gwen is sitting on my knee as I write this. I’m going to go pet her now. Have a great day!
