Do you ever feel like a mum breaking up fights between the under 5s! My gang are always at it.
Minty is such a tail man, if anyone gets a tail anywhere near him he has to stand on it chew it or bend it around a bit! Sky is the smallest budgie of the four but although she acts all shy she's just as bad as Minty and I've seen the pair of them gang up to chew tails or wings of usually Harry.
On the whole I've given up on hollering at them to let go of each other as if you watch for a while, the other two Harry or Blue had earned their chewing and are doing some of their own on Sky or Minty. I put it down to them being about 5 months old and being rowdy teenagers.
We have the chicky butt headquarters here as they are all moulting and with the tail chewing everyone has only 1 long tail feather each, proving all the chewing is pretty even. There's a lot of squawk swearing and posturing but no ones being hurt. And if its not too sick to say so its quite often hilarious to watch. Harry for example will be swearing blue murder at Minty chewing his tail, but he doesn't move out of the way, so he can't be that bothered. Boys!!!!!!!!! ;D
