about 7 months ago when i bought wndy i also bought felix but he flew into a window and hurt himself and died a couple of weeks after.. since then we got wendy another male but she keept on hitting him in the chest with her beak and he also died :(( thinking back i don't think i introduced them corectly... i wanna get her a male and maibie she will lay eggs:p
How should i introduce them so that she will become comtable with his presence?:S

How old is Wendy?

She thinks he's in her terrortory so put them both in a cage that is new to them.

Well when you get a new bird you need to quarantine it for at least 30 days in a separate cage in a separate room to any existing birds. Then after quarantine you should gradually introdice them by keeping their cages side by side. Once they're completely comfortable in each others presence you can try putting them in the same cage but then separate them overnight....then just keep gradually leaving them together longer.

You should make sure your new budgie is quaranteed for at least 30 - 45 days before introducing them. That is in a completely seperate part of the house so they don't come into contact at all. This is to make sure that if your new budgie is carrying any illnesses, it wont pass them onto Wendy!
After quaranteen is over, try placing their cages next to each other so they get a chance to meet through the bars before actually being together, that way you can observe their behavior and if there is any conflict, none of them will be hurt.

Ha - me and Bea must have posted at the same time!! Must be good advice then!!! :D

Um....you should probably put the cage with the male in it beside the female, and you should also make sure that it is a male you are buying females ussualy dont get along!:)

wendy is about a year old

You should wait a couple of months before introduucing a partner, she is a bit young at the moment. Also the male will have to be over 1.

first of all put the male in the same room as the female but in a separate cage, leave them for about 1 month and see how they do together. Good luck.

something i have noticed is.. you want what you cant have. so keep them close to each other so they see each other and talk to each other

[Mistyoriline]

I agree keep them apart then gradually..introduce....take your time.

[Amy]

So do I.:)

in my experiences they will usually like eachother and want to be together as soon as they see or hear eachother as long as its not two girls. even if there is hesitation, the fact that she killed it makes me think maybe the last one wasn't a male afterall? a man once came to one of my stores asking why his budgie kills every girlfriend he gets for him... over almost 10 years he had tryed about once every year or so to give him a girlfriend and it turned out that he was a she... its so sad that all of those poor birdies had been killed! and all because the pet store 10 years ago didn't know what it was talking about :(

[Amy]
