Hi guys, hoping someone can help me!
I hand raised a lovely rainbow, she's about a year old now, when i came across an opportunity to adopt another adult lorikeet i took it. I thought since i was spending less time with her she would like a friend.
He is mean & aggressive toward everyone except my rainbow. Since she has never had another bird friend, she seems in her element.
I can no longer handle her or do anything involving her because he won't let me open the door without a fight, which scares her away.
She openly will sit whistling & calling to me .. will play from the other side of the wire but i can't get to her. She has now begun getting snappy with him when he bites me, but i don't want to cause them to fight.
He is rude (swears), aggressive and just plain naughty. Although he is an amazing bird to look at, small in size and the most vivid colors i have ever seen on a bird.
I don't know whether to persist or to get rid of him, is it selfish to get have her on her own again just so i can spend time with her? Should i get her another friend once he is gone? Now that she has had a buddy i don't want her to be depressed and lonely when she doesn't, but i can't put up with him. PLEASE HELP ME GUYS!
